OK, so I've made up my mind. The Jock is out this year. I just won't be ready for the 150km hell ride.
So, the other long one, the Kremetart, is now the challenge. Fit I can be yes, but know about long races I don't. 😄
It works as follows:
4 Stage race:
Stage 1: 53km
Stage 2: 47km
Stage 3: 52km
Stage 4: 20km
The route has "one" climb 🙄 (or so they say).
Now the questions:
- Eating. What should I eat. I've done plenty 100-120km races, but never 4 "races" in one day. (The organizers give you chow between stages)
- Preperation on the day. My fitness shouldn't let me down, but what about carbo loading? Can anyone give me an idea on how to load for such a race.
- Racing speed. On a 100km you do 30km/h avg. But what about 180km?
- Hydration. What should I drink? What type of carbo drink should I look at?
Has anyone done the race? What's it like?
