How many things did I do wrong:
- didn't eat a big meal the night before that I had been doing on accident..Hey it's Friday night. Time for a plate of sweet potato fries!
- played with friends' Kinect box and got some exercise, burning what little calories I'd eaten.
- drank a cup of coffee before the ride
- ...and the killer, took a 5-hour energy because I was sleepy. I think the killer here is the
extra cup of coffe.
- drinking 3 ounces of gatorade/hammer gel mix (diluted for a water bottle) may not have helped either.
5 miles into the ride I could feel my blood sugar drop. Up a hill a few miles later I had no energy.
Snarfing some Sharkies helped avert disaster, but can't make up for 1000 calories of missing glycogen.
