I am not sure of the specifics of bonking but I am not sure what else it was other than not enough fuel for the calories I was burning.
That's where I get confused about it too, I could live on my fat stores for a loooong time without "needing" food. I just assumed my body didn't ever need to carbo load because it couldn't possibly run out of fuel??
