Hey all, thought I would share a few years worth of experience with cramping and how it may be avoided.

We all know inadequate hydration is one culprit, but it is also worth noting excessive water will exacerbate it.

For me, I finish any event in hot (or in fact any) weather with a salt crusted helmet strap, pack straps and clothing - mute testimony to the amount of salts I am losing (but then I am a prolific sweater - paedophile on a school bus kinda thing) and how much I need to replace.
