"starting to feel lightheaded and noticing my spatial awareness was not as good" sounds like the bonk. How many fence posts do you knock in per session? Do you need to wrestle the sheep back in too or is that someone else's job?
Oliver's probably right with the pasta thing too (although again, everyone is different). 1 hr before what I assume is a hard workout? is too soon to be eating a meal like that.
I'd ride home from work (1hr) ride to turbo, kill myself, ride home (2hrs) and then eat, probably not having had anything since lunch. That works for me but I really couldn't imagine barfing up a full plate of pasta in a turbo session.. no wait.. I COULD imagine it and I'd rather avoid it.
Can you eat something earlier or something smaller nearer the start? A mueslii bar or similar?
