Wow, disappointing - I was hoping for a 7 hour finish. I was seeded in Batch E, the very last group, so it was very crowded and slow to start. Then I lost my cadence meter (I hit the lap/split function when I noticed it), and then whoa, what a cramp-fest from the 56 km mark right to the very end (it let up a bit with 10 km to go). There wasn't a muscle that wasn't cramping - thighs, aductors, calves, hamstrings, forearms and hands (I had to shift the front derailleur with my right hand!). This made the climbs brutal, even with a light cadence - there was no way I could push it.
I made the mistake of standing up for a stretch at one point and both legs seized up from my ankles to my groin. Yikes! I had Cramp Care tablets which I was taking as directed, but they didn't do any good. I stopped at the First Aid table at about the 4th water point (km 86?) and asked if they had anything for cramps - they sprayed my legs with DryHeat and gave me a couple of Rennies tablets. I guess the Rennies must have kicked in just in time to do the last big climb, but but I even got a bad cramp while eating my Spur burger at the finish. Yikes!
