Having problems with message search?
Steve,
Having experienced this in racing (and long training), I switched my liquid to ELoad (designed by Dr. Stoddard to help distance athletes with long events). It has some carbohydrates in it, but it is much higher in replacing a variety of electrolytes. Furthermore, you can also purchase additional ECaps, which are electrolytes in capsul form. These you can add to the drink (rather than simply making the drink stronger with more of the powder), and this increases the amount of electrolytes if you are a heavy perspirer or it is an extremely hot day.
Check out www.eload.net.
This has been quite effective in dealing with my cramping problems in doing Ironman (by the way, I just got back from watching Ironman Wisconsin this weekend in Madison, but I was primarily there to sign up for next year).

Subject: **OCC** Salt depletion question
Anyone else out there having salt depletion symptoms (leg cramps, nausea, dizziness, etc)? How did you solve them (salt tablets, pretzels, etc)?
Please let me know what works best as these symptoms are really affecting my long work outs.
BTW: great season guys, had a lot of fun on the Saturday rides, chasing everyone on the hills and hammering my legs into paste. See you all next season.
Regards,
Steve
