Oh my goodness. So much drama today. So embarrassing. Multiple cramping episodes and one great fall... just walking* up a steep incline.

Scraped one elbow.

I wasn't even pushing my heavy #bike... or any bike. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

One of the gents had offered to push my bike up the hill. I was going to get his light bike and push it. Didn't even get to his bike. I just fell. With a cramping right calf. That was not fun. ๐Ÿ˜

I opted to take a tricycle* up the steep hill. It was 50 pesos well-spent. ๐Ÿ‘

@evelyn The cramping might have happened because your body needed fuel during the ride. Check up on eating and drinking while on rides, especially the longer ones. There are different kinds of things people will eat while riding in order to increase energy and prevent cramps.

Don't feel too bad about it though. Happens to everyone now and then. ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿšด

@Wayves
Hmm ๐Ÿค” Let's see.

During my 84km ride (15-hour day ride), I consumed:
2 700ml bottles of water
2 600ml bottles Mountain Dew
1 iced Vietnamese coffee with milk
1 ham pastry of some sort
1 ๐Ÿท๐Ÿณ๐Ÿš meal (only ate half the serving of rice, it wasn't good)
1 ๐ŸŒ con hielo ๐ŸงŠ
about 1.5 glasses of water

I'm ยฑ62 kilos. Average-ish. Normal BMI with a tendency to overeat. ๐Ÿ™Š

You think what I had that day was enough? ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ

@Wayves
Oh. I forgot.
And 1 cup of coconut water. ๐Ÿฅฅ

@evelyn Hahaha, ok ok seems you got the fuel pretty much covered. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I dunno then. I've cramped up a few times and always thought it was nothing a pizza couldn't fix. ๐Ÿ˜œ

@Wayves
Ooh, I love #pizza! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ•

In fact, after I got home I tried to sleep, gave up, got up, and ordered pizza. ๐Ÿ˜
