telecat Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just back from Richmond where NYL "cramped up" on final lap so failed to finish. However we believe Jack Challoner took A Class victory (nice one "JC"), and Alex Wigg came in third. Jonathan Richardson took the B class win.

bikespace Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Cramp - Doh!!!!! water - water - water I know you probably know your stuff, but i find that cramp seems to be almost entirely water problem. I hardly get cramp any more, and I'm not peak of physical fitness by any stretch of the imagination. Just make that extra effort to force water down your neck whenever you can. It's so easy to get dehydrated and it makes such a difference to the body. Probably preaching to the converted I know, but helps me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Normally I "tank" him up using the Lucozade sports water. However we were off early this moring and he didn't drink anything on the way up. Made sure he was well watered on the trial but the cramp came in just as he dropped only the one mark on the first three sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) It's sort of refreshing to know the young lads are finding it hard too - they make it look so easy usually Edited August 20, 2006 by bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scottie Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 'Powerade' an isotonic sports drink is very good at keeping the arm pump and cramp away. Find it's better than lucozade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification Adsy Great ride Ross. I wished I had been there to see that. Well done to Jack as well. Its rare to see Alexz pushed to 3rd place.

Ben Morphett was on 48 with Ricky Wiggins just behind on 49. Second to fifth was very tight in "B" Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
