As I said it's a guide, and while you might be able to do more, its better to start at average rather than shit yourself after 3 hours....
I should experiment more, I suspect if I was just cycling I could do more, but 120g/hr is impressive and mental - did she have a little trolley behind her for all the gels that must have been!? that's the equivalent of 32 Torq Gels!!
120g/hr could be 2 gel, 1 bar, 500ml 6% per hour or it could be no 'food' and simply a strong carbo drink solution. It's not actually hard to get that level of CHO in. What's hard is doing it for 6 - 12 - 24 hours...
