Couple points:
Watching the broadcast showed Reynolds asleep sometime after his first stint. He doubtless needed the sleep but also would have need to rehydrate at the same time. Maybe this fed into his cramping late in the day?
Whomever was advising the team saying he needed to have a big drink with the expectation that it would allow him to recover from the cramps and continue was just plain wrong. You cannot consume enough fluid and electrolytes whilst driving to recover like that.
