    Zen, have you ever tried some sort of electrolyte tablets? I used to use sports drink (gatorade or accelerade), and I still got cramps in my toes (and sometimes my calves).

    Ever since I switched to water with Nunn tablets, no more cramps. Really made the difference for me. Now I use water with Nunn, and I eat my calories.

    I can't afford such luxuries. Bananas are fairly cheap, tho. My strategy for now is no diuretics the day before or the morning of the event. I'll take my drugs when I finish.
    All I can do is experiment and see how it goes.

    As Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work".

    Or as the great Homer Simpson said, "Trying is the first step towards failure".

    Zen - I like to use boiled baby potatoes with sea salt sprinkled on them. The potatoes have a lot of potassium and salt is.......well, salt. That might help.
