Yesterday I completed the 2nd one, and did not break my fast until noon today. I did go out today after my fast and did 26 miles climbing 2,907 ft. elevation.
One of the side effects of the Centuries is for me, I have a difficult time falling asleep at night.
Love to hear from those that do fasted rides.
Sounds miserable to me, and I agree that the difficulty sleeping may be from overtraining. On the encouraging side, I bet you would be a natural at randonneuring, especially the longer rides! You should sign up for a 200k brevet and see how you like it.
