I carried 2lt of water on my back and 1.5lt of water in flasks.
6 sandwiches, 2 cupcakes, 1 tadelle, 5 dates
My plan while driving was to reach Çanakkale from Istanbul without stopping. For this, I had to carry my water and food on me. I started driving as much as I thought it would be enough; but it wasn't enough :) It was quite cold in the morning. I thought long tights, shoe covers and 6 layers of top would be appropriate. Since the wind was quite high, it almost beat me. Sometimes the clothing was too much. I sweated a lot. This was a bad sign. Of course I started drinking more water. The water on my back ran out quickly. And I have 1.5lt of water left that I carry on the bike. I had to make water calculations in Uçmakdere. Because I didn't want to stop. I wanted to do the driving, which was my goal. I have 750ml of water left towards Şarköy. In some areas, I sweat a lot due to thick clothing. I started drinking sips by calculating the remaining km. I decided not to eat sandwiches so I wouldn't be thirsty anymore. The situation started to deteriorate. My energy is pretty low. When I came to Gallipoli, I drank 1 sip of my water. When I said wind, nutrition, thirst, I kept on knowing that I was exhausted on every pedal. When I came to Eceabat, the warehouses were screaming. I recorded the ride with the happiness of reaching my goal. The Istanbul-Canakkale drive was completed without a break.
