Last weekend I learned that I don't respond well in the heat if I don't get fluids, so when I set out this morning, I took more than I usually would. And good thing too, since I easily took down 3 full bottles in just over two hours. I was soaked by 40 minutes, and just kept replacing. This is a very important lesson for the future. If I power through that much at 85-90% effort, then I definitely need to get my whole bottle in that hour I'm on the bike during a race. No wonder I cracked.
The ride itself went well, about 75km with 3x8-10 minutes at high effort. A good set-up for the next race.
Bike: 140 minutes, ~75km
