I’ve talked about this computer so many times but I have not charged it in just under two years. Let me say that again, I have not plugged this computer in in almost 2 years. With the rainy and cold weather recently it wasn’t able to charge through solar, and since I’ve never even remotely come close to it dying on me during a ride I didn’t realize that it was at 1 %. And this is where it has an amazing feature that I didn’t even know about

Just before it died, it ended and saved and uploaded my ride so that it wouldn’t get eaten. That’s so freaking cool, because when I used to run wahoo, there was so many times that I stressed on ending the ride and banking the file or gambling and seeing if it would last. 

Four years ago when I did my first unbound XL, I was in this exact situation with wahoo where I was down to 1 % in the last 3 miles of the race. But I knew that there was no way I could upload a Strava file for the unbound 350 race and have it say 347 miles. I gambled and it did pay off as it died right past the finish, but could you imagine riding 350 miles and then the ride just disappears? Might as well just delete your life.

So the COROS has this amazing feature in that if in very rare instance that your computer dies once every five years, it will automatically save the ride before it dies, ensuring you get that precious Strava upload. 

Besides that, I do ride every day for an hour to two hours after work, just sometimes I don’t post the rides public if I don’t have much to say. I talked about my pre-workout meal of this thousand calorie bowl of cereal that is just absolutely massive. Low calorie fruit and low calorie cereal drenched in 0 cal allouse and cinnamon has got to be one of my favorite meals in the past few years.

My rides recently have been crazy strong and I’m just able to roll 300+ watts without much stress. It really has to do a lot with consistency and diet, but I am forever and always hungry. Maintaining a caloric deficit while still putting 100 to 200 g of carbs an hour in me is pretty difficult.

Because I take in 1000 cal /ride on a small day and 5 to 7000 cal on a big day, it doesn’t leave much room for the other meals. This is another big change to my program recently. Is that in the past, I would sacrifice ride fuel so that I could have buckets of food for dinner. Eating for performance isn’t that much fun but also cracking on every ride because you’re not eating enough just so that you can stuff your face with food afterwards kind of seems backwards as well.

The cool thing is that when you fuel better for the rides you’ll burn more calories because you have more energy and therefore you can ride harder and so it’s not too difficult to burn 800 to 1000 cal an hour if I’m fueling right.
