I had the same experience last year. My legs really swelled up and I gained
weight. I concur with Susuan.

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.

Susan.

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.

Ah yes, It would be a good idea for all of you to be elevating you feet as
much as possible. It just helps the lymph system to flush out all those
waste products/toxins that have built up in your muscles after 750+ miles in
under 4 days. And keep drinking lots of water.

I weighed in last night when I got home - I was up 6 pounds from the day
before the event.  I've seen this same phenomenon after each brevet and perm
this season.  By Friday of the following week, I am usually at or below the
week prior weight.

A better indicator:  the day before the C1200K, my body fat percentage
declined 1.5%. I am not sure I believe the specific metric, but the decline
in body fat % seems like a better indicator than my increase in weight.

ps: my ankles and feet look like water balloons today ...
