lower back cramps while racing

It's a fitness issue. If you have to keep everything all on for the entire race you're going to
cramp. When you get fitter you'll find yourself relaxing in the pack a little more with some reserve
and you'll move around on the bike a little instead of being frozen into your 'max output' body
position for 30+ minutes.

your position may need tweaked. bars up a bit, back a bit etc.... also, get your abs in much better
shape and this tends to go away.

PMS maybe?
