Swimming (r2=0.11, P=0.34) and running (r2=0.02, P=0.71) split times remained unchanged, whereas cycling split times (r2=0.84, P=0.0002) and overall race times (r2=0.67, P=0.0040) increased over time (Figure 1).
Association between fluid intake and change in foot volume during the stages (A) and associations between volume of the foot at the end of the stages with total body water (B), creatinine (C), and urea (D) at the end of the stages.

The change in the foot volume was significantly and positively (r=0.78, P=0.0082) related to fluid intake during the stages (Figure 2). However, the poststage volume of the foot was significantly and positively related to poststage total body water (r=0.68, P=0.029), poststage creatinine (r=0.77, P=0.0090), and poststage urea (r=0.92, P=0.0001) (Figure 2).
