*Maybe* pop another gel on the bike, drink water on the bike and then water at the aid stations on the run?

I think the electrolytes should be taken up before the race if it's so short. I've been loading Mg all week and will nicely salt my pasta tonight.....
I found I cramped up into the run when I didn't take in any gatorade on the bike for one sprint tri. That was more electrolytes, tho...I had enough energy. I made sure I didn't do that again and it has not happened since.
