Yeah -- what a wild feeling! It was pretty neat. It was a direct lesson in how different kinds of food are stored: at the ~90 mile break where I didn't eat enough food, I ate the same amount of cheese that I'd been eating at the others, but not the same amount of Clif bar As a result, I felt full enough from the fat and protein but I didn't have enough of the short-term easy-access carb reserves.
Next time, I am definitely trying the carbo loading (http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/endeating.htm) thing on Friday night. Woo-hoo, endurance. I might try a mild carb-deficit a few days before the loading. Nothing drastic. Just to see.
