I'm a pretty commited former competitive cyclist and commute to work and ride with a group on the weekends.
Two weeks ago on a fairly tame (30kph avg) ride of 100KM I started cramping up at the end. Considering the cool temps and tame pace I was surprised. On Good Friday I went for another 100KM ride with the group under similar conditions and at roughly 60KM was starting to cramp and by 90KM was totally shattered. I fully bonked and made my way home in my lowest gear struggling to keep my feet moving. When I got home I was freezing despite the reasonably mild temps and my hands were numb ( not cold just didn't have much feeling in them).
I was hydrated and took in some carbs on the ride but don't know what's going on. I'm a former Cat 2 rider and have had this happen a couple of times before but only under epic conditions of heat, pace or distance (or all three)
Anyone have any insight as to what going on with my body?
P.S. Not overweight: BMI around 23
