I had the same stomach deal going on Saturday, when it was over 100F. Sustained on water and electrolytes, but none of my usual stuff seemed right, but I still had to eat _something_. It's tough.

Great report!

Thanks for the compliments all of you!

Nanci - I am really struggling with what to eat in the heat. We just can't seem to get any training rides in when it is hot - yesterday was a long ride and it was cold all day. But then for my events, especially those in the Sierra like ESDC and the Death Ride coming up, I expect a lot of heat. So I can't "practice" what works in training. Pretzels and super bland stuff (wheat thins) always seem to work for me. Water and electrolyte pills go down easier than gatorade or other sports drinks at some times.

What's been working for you?
