So it seems (albeit from a single, isolated study) that cramping is just one of the many unavoidable risks associated with getting as close as possible to your limits, especially if you happen to have a (genetically determined?) history of cramping.
This is my experience exactly. Once I started racing a bit more conservatively, cramping stopped. I no longer supplement either.

another interesting publication. The most recent so far.
LOOK TABLE 2 Post-race serum sodium (mmol/L)
P=0.055 which technically means no statistical significance, but 0.049 IS accepted as statistically significant. In other words..... Sodium has a role with a 5.5 % of making a mistake on this assumption.
