Loads more hassle than the bkool but more fun I'm sure. My memories of muddy dark midweek evenings on the mtb are a dim and distant memory. Loads of fun though I remember.

So what does a 'suffer score' of 141 mean....put into perspective?

Use FIT, that imports into Strava perfectly.

You were doing really well when I last checked in, but no point in straining muscles, better to come back fresh another day.

I was so tempted to pack it in at the hour stage, I decided to slow down and see if I could keep going as I didn't want to do the whole thing again another day.

Funny thing was my heart rate never got very high, but I was wrecked at the end. It's a bit of a leg breaker, I would say, and I just couldn't push fast enough to get the heart rate any higher.

I had bad cramp afterwards as I didn't drink enough during the climb. Used rehydration tablets in my bottle and had lots of Diet Tonic afterwards and got through the night.

Do you use tablets? I find the High5 pink grapefruit quite pleasant and they do help reduce cramp.

Geoff

Ribena works for me! Basically tonnes of sugar. For that particular run, I had one bottle of Ribena, and one water with a hydration tablet in, but spanked both of them within the hour. Luckily my wife heard my desparate pleas for liquid and responded appropriately with more Ribena.
