CALORIE MATH FOR GOING THE DISTANCE
RELENTLESS CROUCHED at the starting. Hearts pumping and thumping in time. The gun sounds, the flags go up. Churning and burning...
... we yearn for the cup.
We're going the distance,
we're going for speed.
How do we fuel that?
After getting...
- 63 mi
- 6056'
- 4:38:09
... it done today.
Because I felt great and put out power the entire ride at race pace...
... what was caloric intake and what am I going to need at Sea Otter next week?
Based on today,
I burned 2927 calories.
Consumed 340 calories/hour.
Based on that and my predicted finish time at Sea Otter being 5-5.5 hours...
... I'm figuring 1 hydration pack/lap with 850 calories of carbohydrate.
