Pushing back the wall

In reading Guide nutritionnel des sports d'endurance I learned that anaerobic metabolism of glycogen is 12 times less efficient than aerobic metabolism.

So any of the time I spent going too fast in the cold rain from kilometer 5 to about 25 was also destroying my reserves at an outrageously high rate. A bit more efficiency might result in a huge boost the last few kms.
