I did the Pan Mass challenge for the first time last year. I will admit that I made it to the end of the 160 mile distance but I just barely made it. At the end, my legs were sore beyond all belief, and I was more hungry than I could imagine.
I suspect I did not do enough to prepare for it before. I did quite a lot of bicycle training and long trips so that was not much of the problem. A lot of people are telling me I should have spent more time on the pre-event carb diet. Considering that I only did it for about 3 before the event Someone also told me I should have spent some time before it off the bike all together to preserve energy.
Im wondering if anyone else has ideas of other things to do before the event for preparation? Also since I should do the carb diet for a longer time before the event does anyone know any goo recipes for it?
