first post…
i just did my 1st century this past weekend under keto and it was a struggle. well kinda my 2nd since the first century of the year back in july was half assed keto and it was 90 degrees out. anyways, i packed 2 water bottles with crystal lite with salt and a handful of slim jims. the first 40 was a breeze. averaged close to 20-22 mph in a pack. after the first rest stop, i was starting to get tunnel vision and snacked on a few slim jims to hopefully get me over it, but unfortunately i had to grab any carb i could get my hands on, i was starting to cramp all over. i switched to gatorade and ate whatever snacks they had to hold me over. struggled for the next 30 but finished strong once the carbs kicked in for the last 30. i failed this century trying to stay keto but ended up averaging close to 17 mph and finished in less than 6 hours.
any tips or tricks for the next long distance ride would be greatly appreciated.
