    proper electrolytes

    the so called sports drinks do not have proper quantities of electrolytes in them-- I just buy Pedialyte from the baby aisle at the supermarket and that has the physiological sugar and electrolyte balance appropriate for replacement - babies have same electrolyte quantities as we do. Plus is quite cheap and often on 2 for 1 special at the supermarket-- I have out i bottle water and i bottle Pedialyte on my bike here in Orlando and no probs with cramps or stuff since.

    Mile forty seems to be cramp time for me too and for that reason 40 has been my longest to date.
    I drink 1:1 gatorade-water mix but I think I may need to eat more often.
    Still experimenting with that.
