First thing I thought of was the days of high school . Being from a rather rural school, we had to make several trips that were in the 1 1/2 - 2 hour range, mostly Silsbee,Jasper and West Orange. We would leave mid-afternoon and arrive just in time for the JV to warm up for about 15 minutes. Back then they didn’t have much in the way of protein bars or meal replacements so might have a candy bar before the game. Not too many visiting teams came away with wins.
