    No brainer then! I'm no longer adding honey to the porridge

    I've stopped adding sugar etc (use agave nectar instead) to anything I cook or drink (no sugar in me coffeeee) and i guess when i add something sugary my body goes...Whooooaaaaa
    Sometimes the coffee will do this to me. Are you drinking more than normal for you? Just a thought because for me, I dunno about others, coffee can wear me out prematurely if I drink too much or more than I'm used to having or super strong coffee or if I do too many caffeinated gels. Anywho, something to consider too.

    potato

    I cooked a potato last night & took 1/2 of it with me on my shortish dirt ride today. At the halfway point, i devoured it(mmm yummy) and had no noticeable problems after. I also had about 100ml of flat coke w me in a small container-it didn't taste that hot but it didn't bother me.

    I'm seeing a sports nutritionist this weekend & possibly throw some ideas around with her.

    Next to try is hot miso soup after a couple of laps on a trail & see what it does...

    WR-i normally drink coffee after a ride & don't make it at home.
