IRONMAN Training 180km bike

Last saturday was my first 180km ride ( 185 to be exact) .

I started from home at the break of dawn and picked up 2 buddies along the way. Our route took me via KL jalan damansara, tun razak, MEX, PLUS highway with the approximate mid point at KLIA and LCCT. (ave speed 29.5kph)180 ride

Stopped just twice the whole way. Once to fix a flat, and once to eat.

I need to decide how much to eat on the bike for the ironman...the past two long rides all have involved a pretty heavy meal at midpoint. I guess ill need to a try a NON STOP 180k and eat on the bike. (i wonder if a mashed potato sandwhich would work?)- the rice/noodle based carbs seem to work better than bread!

None the less , im more confident now that i can get through the swim+ bike in less than 7 1/2 hrs.
