You ate 4 gels before the races? and drank Gatorade? I'm surprised you didnt shart your shorts, no wonder you were cramped. You said you did this before, ate gels than ran; for this type of speed/distance?" the whole point of gels is that they are portable and edible on the run. Since the fuel in a gel only lasts about a half hour, I would encourage you to try carrying them on a training run and eat one every 3-4 miles, and use water with them. They are supposed to be an alternative to gatorade.
