Today I tried to do a 130 km race without stopping at the depots. I had two bottles of sportsdrink,
Extran, and four packs of Maxim Energy Gel. The weather was rather cool so I didn't sweat much. I
was doing really fine until about 90 km where I just hit the wall. I had to slow pedal 15 km to the
last depot where I stuffed myself with bananas and buns before I could pick up my speed again. It
was not a pleasant experience and I don't want to do it again. Normally I stop about halfway, but
I'm starting to feel that I wanna do the race all the way on my own so to say.
I do have a problem with a lot of the bars. I seem to run out of breath when eating them because I
can't breathe through my nose during the meal. Therefore I'm looking into liquid energy, if
possible. Well OK I can eat a banana underway ;-)
So what do you guys stuff in your jerseypockets?
