Nutrition consisted of large pasta dinner the night before, not much for breakfast and only electrolyte drinks with no carbs during the race. I would always bonk precisely at 20 miles and slowed way down after that.
My best time was 3:15 but probably could have easily gone under 3:00 if I had the nutrition of today. After that I got into bike racing and did a hard hilly 100KM race. I was on a team and they gave me a water bottle with Coke in it. I actually did pretty well in that race.
