Low on fuel

19M double
5M am - Westminster to Wharf (gentle)
14M pm - Wharf to Kew (4.10-4.30 min/k)

Solid day. Complete lack of calorie intake though. Felt it over the last 4 miles tonight. Had that light headed feeling and some definite"low tank red light indicator flashing" too. Perhaps not too bad. Train "without", but race "with" fluids, gels etc. Man up. In the words of Nick Swinburn "I'm no pussy man"

Great timing. Bumped into Henry in Hyde Park and ran up to the Bayswater Road giving the route an extra 1k or so - much needed.

Must have burnt at least 2,000-2,500 kcal on today's run (on top of the 'just being alive' 2,500) and there's no way I've taken in 4,000-4,500.
