@juliank Guess you need to bike more! ;)
@trinsec basically ride this every week with less food, ate more today. Only change was hot weather :(
@juliank Lol, showering with sugary water is indeed not recommended. :D Unless you're _really_ fond of insects!
About the sugary water, it wasn't really about the carbs but about the minerals themselves. I think having a little sachet of some sort of cup a soup might be a better idea. Something salty. In liquid form would be distributed through your body faster I think. But energy bars and lots of water work too I guess!
My country's too flat to climb anything. ;) If we suddenly needed to 'climb', we know we likely accidentally ended up in a neighbouring country!
@trinsec No sugar in water when it's hot, might have to wash my head :D
I feel like there should be enough carbs, each Clif bar offered 45g and this was low intensity except for the climb in the middle (11.93km, 3.1%). Probably spent about 1500 kcal and consumed 813 in total, about half (no power meter).
Same for minerals, they're all in there.
More water would be needed.
