CANDO training ride?

[Zen]

Holy Moley, that's hard work when you're loaded. I started drinking at 6 AM

On that home stretch I could feel a cramp coming on. I get cramp alerts like people with migranes get auras. I stopped for those ClifBloks and managed to stave it off. I got home around 5 and got my first paralyzing cramp at 9, another at 10.
I don't think I drank enough, guess I'll have to get a bigger camelbak.
What size is you guizes?
I think I'll need to buy a case of Bloks, too

I have the Camelback Dream (though I wish they'd had this nice subdued grey color when I bought mine ). It holds 72oz, or 2 liters, which is a lotta water. I don't think I've ever emptied it.


I hope you're feeling better today, Zen!

I have the Camelback Dream

Your REI link shows that at $50.
Price Point has it for $35 (+5 for shipping).

This cramp is only in my left quad, the side I clip in on

Well, I wasn't suggesting you buy it at REI, they just had the best description and photo

I didn't notice yesterday, did you do any stretching during yesterday's ride? I remember that you stretched at one point during the ride we did from Brunswick to Antietam Creek, did that help to loosen things up mid-ride? I wonder if applying an analgesic would also help. I often get cramps in the sartorius on my left leg just next to the knee, and I find that either Biofreeze or Merry Hempsters Cool Muscle Rub (I get that at Common Market) helps a lot.

Stretching would no doubt help, I've been having such tightness in the hip flexors I rarely stretch the rectus femoris.

i think my problem is about 70% physiological though, because of potassium loss in diuretic use

One more reason for those bananas...

...or seasoned roasted taters.

I ordered a Dream but now I'm looking at the FlashFlo

And I secured my early transportation last night
