In the army it can be tougher. There you are tested with next to nothing in gear and you have to make it from A to B without ever being noticed by civilians or other soldiers trying to find you. One of our lieutenants said it was a piece of cake for him and that the really hard part for him was his craving for cigarettes. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

For sustaining, you must go back one year, to 1845, in the exact same spot, to the story of Moses Schallenberger, who was left behind there when the previous year's party got stuck, and who built the cabin in which the Donner party took shelter, and who sustained himself by trapping foxes. https://www.google.com/search?q=moses+schallenberger |

It probably depends on just what sort of "fruit cake" it is. I used to make some with honey, peanut butter and oat meal, with a box of raisins thrown in for "fruit". Certainly more then empty calories there :-) I rode 90km yesterday, and Strava calculated that I produced 2049kJ of mechanical energy output. There are various online resources that suggest a reasonable estimation of human energy efficiency from food to mechanical output, is 25%. That means my food energy intake for that ride needed to be 8196kJ. The recommended daily energy intake is 8700kJ for adult men. Maybe I'll have two slices of fruit cake ;-) -- JS |

Exercising normally and eating enough to balance is not a compulsion. It is good sense. On that cruise down to Mexico with nothing to do and good food I gained five lbs. I've finally lost it. God, maybe I'll bulimic. |

The litre of -snip- I don't know where you get your ingredients from since Red Bull has about the same caffeine as a quarter cup of weak coffee. Most of the ingredients are water and salts with a bit of sugar and flavoring. Actually, 8.4 oz of Red Bull (a can) has 80 mg of caffeine. A cup of coffee varies. My usual poison, a double shot of espresso, has 100 mg of caffeine. http://www.math.utah.edu/~yplee/fun/caffeine.html Red Bull is not a "sports drink." It's an "energy drink," viz. a stimulant drink. If you want a real stimulant during take Jolt. It clocks in at almost 200mg/can of caffeine and the 20oz suposedly is closer to 300mg. No idea what that's good for on a bicycle although I must confess that I did fall asleep on a road bike once, on my way to school as a kid. Luckily there was no ditch next to the bike path but a flat grassy area. http://awordonnutrition.com/sepost/e.../?type=article Stimulants have their place. I get caffeine in GU gel packs, which are kind of bail-out food. Way back when, I got caffeine and ephedra in Pocket Rockets -- one of the first gel packs. I ate so many of those in a long road race 20+ years ago that I was shaking by the end of the race and couldn't sleep that night. My drink of choice is Hammer Heed -- which is easy on my stomach and actually makes my muscles feel less tired. GU packs for a quick burst and head-clearing, and Cliff Bars for food (among other things). Try a good sports drink from a mix. You're probably not on the podium much: https://scottsilverii.com/tag/jacques-anquetil/ Jacques Anquetil A five-time tour winner, Anquetil was also known for the perfection of his own cocktail, which consisted of morphine (injected into the muscle) and amphetamines to counteract any sleepy side affects. When asked if he took stimulants, Anquetil didn’t mind providing a quote. “You would have to be an imbecile or a crook to imagine a professional cyclist who races for 235 days a year can hold the pace without stimulants.” When he was asked later to clarify, he said this. “For 50 years bike racers have been taking stimulants. Obviously we can do without them in a race, but then we will pedal 15 miles an hour instead of 25. Since were are constantly asked to go faster and to make even greater efforts, we are obliged to take stimulants.” Other quotable cyclists in that link. Reminds me of the "tank chocolate" the German army gave some troops in WW-II. AFAIK that was crystal meth. Both U.S. and German (and probably other military services) used "amphetamines", possibly in the form of Benzedrine, as a stimulant. It was included in USAF on-board medical kits issued to aircraft flying in combat zones until the 1950's sometime, I can remember it being removed from the on board kits on B-29's used in the Korean war. Interestingly, we (the common ground crew members) had no idea what the stuff was until the Medics told us :-) -- Cheers, John B. |
