Yesterday marked my long ride ever, coming in at approximately 139 miles as a part of the Rapha Gentlemen’s Race.

Raging Metabolism
Posted By Adam Edgerton on March 29th, 2009
Seven rides in the last nine days. Nearly 300 miles. Thousands and more thousands of calories. It’s no wonder my metabolism is going crazy. Take today, for instance:
I woke up about 8:30 and had a bowl of leftover pasta.
An hour and a half later, I was hungry again. I had some bread with jam and some yoghurt.
About 1PM, I was starving again and had lunch – more pasta and a banana.
Then I went for a ride. Hill repeats today. 10 of them on a 1.5 mile climb with an average grade of 7 Percent. Fifteen miles uphill at an increasingly harder pace, with the last one going all out. Ow.
I got back about 5:30 starving and ate the remainder of the pasta (I was cooking large packages and simply reheating leftovers) when I got back, plus I had some eggs and milk.
About 8:30, I couldn’t stand the growing in my stomach, so I made a box of mac & cheese for dinner number 2.
It’s now 10:20, and my stomach is growling at me again. Enough already!
