So I've been having problems with leg cramps. My legs always seem to cramp up during a nice hard ride and this bugs the SH!T out of me. Take for instance at last weeks Fat Tire Classic. I was feeling really good, strong and then the ole leg cramps showed up and I had to pull over as many racers past me by.
Things I need to do. Stretch, Properly warm up, and drink fluids, maybe something with electrolytes! After some research I came upon Coconut Water.
Here are some facts (Yeah, its from the Internet So It MUST Be True!!!):
Its more nutritious than whole milk
Its Low Calorie
It contains lauric acid, which is present in breast milk
Its is a universal donor. Its identical to human blood plasma
It contains more potassium than sports/energy drinks (Very Important)
So I bought some ... It has a distinctive smell and taste. Its mild and refreshing. I recommend drinking it very cold.
On Saturday, I road to the beach. I drank some coconut water prior to and no cramping. I'm not saying it worked but I will investigate this more and report later ...
Naked Juice Coconut Water
