It has been a LONG time since I tried to push miles. I've not practiced hydration or nutrition in about 6 years. A scant 10 miles in, I remembered how it felt not to have a) eaten enough for breakfast and b) not to have hydrated enough before or during the ride.
Had I fueled at mile 7, I wouldn't have flagged (circled area). One think to think through around bonking - by the time you've bonked, you're catrching up, and then you need to eat ahead - once you're able to keep food in, you need to get a 200+ calories down, and a couple hundred mL of something wet.
I'm smarter, maybe, for a minute.
