The day before a enduro ill drink a pedialite, 4-6 bananas, potassium pills, and all the water i can take. The morning of a race ill try and down a pedialite but its tough to do. This is the basic deal i stick w after racing enduros. It works good for me.

I would like to add one bit of info on this thread. I suffer from cramps so have done a fair bit of research into hydration and electrolytes and what i have discovered is that it is person specific.
At the roof i was taking high5 4:1 energy drink that had electrolytes in it, i was then adding additional high5 zero electrolyte tabs to it and that worked for me, but i have buddies i ride with that will ride with just water and drink half of what i drink and not get cramps. So you need to try things for yourself because over-hydration is just as dangerous as dehydration

Also the leg cramp thing, I've tried almost everything. I get them in both legs at the same time to the point they clamp up and make my knees crack like knuckles at night. very painful. I walk around with sore lower legs as they are cramping most nights and some days. Will do this for a week or two then go away for a few weeks. Been to several specialists.. nothing.. diet is all I really got recommended. magnesium seams to give me the most benefit but hard to find that in any sport drink readily available.

I just started getting them this summer, maybe it is the 55 thing. What is weird is that it is just my feet and toes, and by toes I mean they start pointing in all kinds of strange and unnatural directions:Vulcan V's, the finger, curved up, curved down...it's like a possession! Next ride in am trying a few Nunn tabs.

I just wanted to provide an update to this thread.
This past Sunday I raced the Funky Chicken, RD#5 of the AMA West Nation Hare Scramble in Elkton, OR. The event was super dusty and dry, which lead to more cotton mouth than normal. I have suffered from cramps before, mainly in my lower legs at other races. I would concider myself to be in decent shape, however I could stand to spend more time on the rowing machine. I was hydrated, no doudt about that, I make sure that by Friday morning eveything was good to go! The 7.5 hour drive to Elkton, OR was in a a/c controled pickup and I continued to consume water on the drive up. Every pit stop we made I was "clear". The plan was to fill my race hydro pack with one bottle of pedialite before the race. My race hydro pack is small, light weight and will only handle about 1 liter so the entire bottle was dumped into the bag. My race breakfast was bowl of oatmeal, dry whole wheat toast, glass of OJ and two bananas, no sugar or milk in the oatmeal. I ate this at 6:30 am for a 10 am race time. That liter lasted me the entire 3 hour race and when I was nearing the last few miles it went dry. I suffered no side effects what so ever, no cramping what so ever. The taste was a little strange at first, but I could live with it. I normally use water in my hydro pack and I seem to consume more water quicker than the pedialite? My riding gear is about 50/50 vented so I did have some air flowing to help keep me cool. The pedialite seemed to work for me along with the fact that I was well hydrated. Post race I consumed another liter of pedialite to re-hydrate. I seemd to recover pretty quick and I did notice that my engery level did perk up within an hour or so after the race. Thanks for all the feed back and other idea's. Thanks
