Cycling isn't a sport. It's more like a really, really expensive eating disorder. :

>>>>Talked to my coach about my nutrition issues. We figured out that I should be eating 6 meals a day. Legs are feeling better now, so I should be able to get in another 17hr week of training. I had to cut last week down to 7.5hrs due to the nutrition issues...

>>> Wife brought donuts to work for coworkers birthday. I ate two. (2nd breakfast; yes we work together) I wonder what I'd weigh (currently 175.8 lbs/ 79.9 kg) if I could get this eating thing under control?

>>I got it under control and got down to 163. When I started racing I was 185. You. Can. Do it. Well, not if you're going to eat another donut. Put it down. Sheesh.

>Assuming a 21% gross cycling efficiency: Calories Burned = (Average Watts) * (Minutes) * (.068242) At 200 watts, that 200 calorie donut would only cost you about 15 extra minutes on the bike. At 300 watts you'd be done in less than 10 minutes. =)

I can get away with 4 meals per day up to around 15 hrs / week. After that, it's just a continuous feeding. It's 10:30am and I've had 1st and second breakfast, and first lunch. Second lunch goes at 1 pm Cyclists are living proof of hobbits.

Ride Sally Ride

RSR is this weekend; then a week off and I'm doing Washington County; then RTCGP.

three Races, four weeks. Must. Keep. Rubber. Side. Down.

the tough bit is I'm feeling 'feisty'.
