Eating is a good idea!!!

 Cycled in and out of work today, was interested to see the difference with the 12 climbs from hell coming home.

Got to work and to my utter horror, I realised I had left my wallet in the house.  No food!  All I had was some tangerines and an energy gel!

Ride in was not too bad.


Ride home was a different matter.  Knowing I had at max 30g of Glycogen in my system I knew I would not be able to put the power down hard.  Saw it in my figures, I am normally above 200W when peddling but was 150W, there was just nothing in the legs.

Got home and found I had set my fastest time.  I really can't work out how.  Was about 40 seconds down in the climbs which is not too bad at all but still improved on my best time.   I am astonished.
