Thx for the replies thus far.

I had to lol on the bonking and sex thing... well, I'd have to put that kinda post under "non-cycling related".

OK... I have heard of peeps taking an OTC water pill to get rid of weigt gain. But, the opposite problem for me. I'm not due at the gyno until Fall for my annual. Post my event. I might have to call and see if they have any advice to prevent the weight gain, AND still get the salt we need to sweat and ride. Thinking they would typically tell an non-athlete to avoid salty foods etc.
