Today I completed my first century! I was going to hold off for the
event to break all my cherries but I couldn't resist. And having
significant doubts on the bike, it felt good to do.
Pre ride I had:
• Some sourdough baguette (sugar, apparently sourdough has less phytic acid)
• Olive oil + vinegarette + salt + pepper
• Peppered Bacon (so delicious)
• Egg from farmers market fried low heat in the bacon fast with some
added olive oil (less heat the better, keeps the goodies in tact.)
Washed it down with a cup of coffee. Seems it either speed up the
digestion our the feeling of fullness.
On the tide I had:
•1.5 oz yogurt at about the 2.5 hour mark
•1.5 oz yogurt at about the 4 hour mark
-a lot of the protein solutions involve either whey or soy. Both of
which I'm not a fan of. I figure yogs has all the goodies to help you
digest the protein. Plus it taste good.
-A little saturated fat on the ride is nice to help with the hunger too
• Probably had about...5-6 25 oz of liquids. 32 of those were
gatorade...had to reload on the road
-Gatorade is soo good! It's formula is okay, I skipped the low calorie
for some extra sugar and added dextrose (industrial glucose or simple
sugar). Skip powerade on workouts...it's mostly fructose
•1 oz hammer gel. They'll have this during the tri, good formula and taste good
Overall it was great. If I had more water on the ride it would have
been perfect. I ran out about 20 minutes out so I started getting a
little headache. I jumped off the bike to see how my legs felt and
everything was ready to go! I was elated.
Post meal...hodge-podge of stuff starting with a boiled yam with salt
and cheddar on top.
Topped it off with the picture, 2 beers and bread.
I'm stuffed and sleepy!
