And that's net loss? Body Weight before and after? Assuming that, and for the 
ske of argument, let's say that no water or substrate intake during the ride 
counts. Then 40 lbs of net water loss would require 10 lbs of glycogen 
burning, if the substrate burned was all glycogen (again, just assuming). So, 
the question is, can 10 lbs of glycogen be used up in a 100 mile race?
