Phriday Phun Quizz, Sweeeet Edition

"Crank Up Hunger" would be more precise.

Woke up at 5am, road the bike deep into Rockland Country, then came back, tallying about 105 miles. I was trying to eat conservatively but with an eye to keep moving, but I still came to the edge of  "bonk" while returning via the West Side bike path.

In endurance sports such as cycling and running, hitting the wall or the bonk describes a condition caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles, which manifests itself by sudden fatigue and loss of energy. Milder instances can be remedied by brief rest and the ingestion of food or drinks containing carbohydrates. 

I tried to stay away from too much sugar (which is good for quick energy) and use some longer lasting fats and starches, but when I was bonking, the sugary Gatorade brought me back in 10 minutes or so. Lovely sugar.

My calorie-counting cyclometer credited me more than a full day's calorie budget, and took full advantage with a day of pizza, Chinese, hot dogs and crap. Gotta live!

For those new to FBIWC, the Phriday Phun Quizz is a direct rip off loving tribute to my favorite bike blog, Bikesnob NYC. Enjoy you quiz: get it right and see a nice young scientist tell you why we love sugar, but be careful, if you click and get it wrong, you'll see a kid who has bigger worries than just too much sugar.
