Cramping quads and cramping gut? SERIOUS electrolyte depletion. Look into Nunn tablets and Endurolyte caps
You can die from that.

Co-sign on the Nuun. Nuun has completely eliminated calf cramps for me. I routinely ride in 100+ degree temps in the summer. Originally Posted by Zen

DH and I had done some shorter distances and a 20 and a 26 miler recently. So the 43 miler was the most I have done so far this year. I have been riding for about a year. I did the MS 150 last year and rode both days. I have never really had this feeling before. Last year during a 60 mile ride nonsupported, I do think I bonked but that was a little different from this. Did not have any trouble on the MS ride either day.
