Talking about using games to break up the distance into manageable chunks, one of the things I learnt from riding 12-hour TTs is that it's almost always a little better to divide by time rather than to divide by distance. After all, the distance covered in agiven period can vary, but half an hour is always 30mins long no matter how slow you're going. For me the virtuous cycle was: Drink every 10mins, eat every hour, pee every four hours. Repetitive, yes, but you're never more than 10mins from something to do that isn't simply pedalling and staring at the horizon. - Oliver Roberts Tue, 18 May 2010 11:19:17 +0100
