Hi there,
I commute about 18 miles most days when I can but had an insane day on Thursday. The car broke down so I had to take it in to the garage and cycle home before work. Then cycled to a conference I was attending. It ran on so had to skip lunch as I had to get back to work for an afternoon meeting. Ended up being late for the meeting as I got lost as I'd never taken the route before and ended up having to push much harder than I wanted (and thought I could wing the directions). Just finished the meeting at around 5pm when I got a call from the garage to say that the car was ready and they couldn't hold it overnight as they were really busy. So I cycled over and picked it up and totaled a fair amount of miles (more than I'm used to anyway!) - when I got home I felt a bit shaky but thought nothing of it and then had tea.
Yesterday I felt awful. Shaky and dizzy for most of the day and kept coming out in cold sweats. I made sure I ate loads and woke up this morning feeling a whole lot better (but legs heavy and a bit sore). Was it the bonk? Most of the stories I've heard of it last only for a short period and then you're ok as soon as you eat something.
