I try to maintain good hydration all the time, and will generally up that the week of a race or major activity. Summers here in AZ I'm always on it to make sure I'm in good shape for rides. I've also found a lot more stamina from just eating better. As of last August, the wife is basically a vegan and I don't eat a ton of meat these days either and when I do it's fish or chicken/turkey. Also cut out a lot of processed crap and added sugars and couldn't believe how much better I felt riding after doing that, better stamina and almost no cramping. I'll throw heed in the hyrdo for big rides and races and toss down a Gu before and once or twice during. Hammer endurolyte tablets are good for cramp prevention and also help to lower soreness the next day. Mustard or pickle juice for quick cramp relief.

I'm in good shape, I don't believe it's conditioning or stamina. I tend to pass more people towards the middle to end of the race.
Preferably I'd like to stay away from the sugary, fake bullshit supplements.
I need that final piece dialed in. Maybe I'm just not drinking enough water pre-race?
Thanks

Hammer gel packs or the gu gel packs in between ride sessions/breaks. I take hydration tablets the night before and I drop some electrolyte fizz (hammer) into my hydration pack. That seems to keep me hydrated when I ride, enter endures or hare scrambles.
