Congrats on finishing nevertheless! Powering through bad cramps for such a long distance is probably one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do on a bike.
How was your fueling early on in the race? For me, it has been a game changer that has largely eliminated cramping. It’s hard to chug sugar drink at 7am when it’s chilly outside, but forcing myself to do it has paid dividends later in the day.
