Hi. This is the official mountain biking thread for actualized.org's health and fitness sub-forum. Even though this is a stupid hobby that distracts people (me) from doing the real work i like it very much. It is (much) better than being an alcoholic poker addict who wakes up at 11 am with a hangover everyday ( i used to be that) I am racing a MTB marathon this sunday. I would like to ask the fitness experts here: What do you think about salt pills? (They are used to retain fluids, so you don't feel like urinating during the race.) Pluto, Michael, Outer, anyone?
