[OrRando] weight management

[Bert Lutz]

On my first 600, I gained nearly 10 pounds.  It disappeared and then some
about 5 days later.

Your muscles are "damaged" and they will retain some water until healed. It
will go away in a few days when you're back to normal. You also may be
retaining some water with an inbalance in electrolytes.  5 lbs isn't all
that unusual. Weigh yourself in a few days and you may find you've actually
lost weight overall. Weigh yourself after other brevets and you may notice
the same pattern of weight gain/loss.

I have a question. How come, after riding my bike 1200k in 100+ degree heat
over the course of 89 hours, I show up at home 5 lbs heavier than when I
left?

 

I don't get it.
