Yah, sounds like electrolytes, bars don't have enough. You sweat away 600-1000mb of sodium per hour, eating around 500mg/hr should be enough to keep yourself stocked up. There's also potassium and magnesium to maintain as well.
Danno:
It was on a CycleOps Fl2 trainer inside a room wth <60 Temperature, Big Fan blowing, 50 % Humidity.
I did a 100 miles in six hours.
My weight went up from all the water.

My specific question to you is:
Can a deficiency of electrolytes, (salt, potassium and magnesium) cause vomitting and GI distress?
I also had elevated temperature for half a day. I was fine the next day.
Thanks for responding.
