I’ve mostly felt good about my riding this year, but I’ve been very very lazy about on-bike nutrition. I don’t know what happened. I used to be very good about it. I was almost religious about it sometimes. But it seems like this year, I just can’t bring myself to do it. I can’t seem to manage a Hammer Flask and every time I try to buy gu packets or hammer gel packets, they either end up lost or eaten by the dog.
I should carry and drink Heed when I ride – especially on hot days like today .. but that stuff makes my lips all sticky and really doesn’t taste good when its hot outside. Plus, it stinks up the cupboards and you really have to keep up on washing water bottles – something I’m by no means good at.
I need to do better tho .. because its killing me now .. in this heat, I have no energy and I sweat so hard my clothes are heavy-wet when I’m done.. That stuff needs to be replenished somehow.. I know this. I preach this. I wish I knew what it took to make myself follow it.
blah.
