Started off not knowing what to expect, guess I went out a bit too hard. Felt fine for the first 20km or so, having devoured a couple of gels off the top tube buffet. I looked down and noticed that my speedo wasn't reading, I had a quick stop and saw that the magnet had loosened itself and moved. I quickly unscrewed it and chucked it in my camelback thinking I shouldnt waste time setting up my speedo again. So at that point any vague plan I had of regular gels went out the door. By the time I saw the 35km sign I was totally exhausted.
