bonked out three times. on the coniston 14mile run. couldnt get my legs to go at the 11mile mark...but picked it up again once crowds gathered in the end. another in merida mtb marathon. couldnt wait to get off the bike. endless climbs...plus i stacked it along the way which really fcked me up. then on my first sportive this year. the second 80kms i did on my own. strong headwinds and felt like i was being chased by the broom wagon. and even on a triple, i ran out of gears on the long climb. back seized up and had to get off the bike to stretch...ran out of water, gel and food in the last 20kms...but by then the sight of the town (finish) gave me a massive pick up.
