I weighed myself at the end of the route and I still lost 1.5 pounds. Ideally you should not lose any weight.
I usually drink 8 full bottles on a century. This one only took a little over 4.5 hours, though, and I don't know that my digestive tract could process that much sports drink in that time. I only drank 4.5 botttles, hence the cramps.
