Question Cramping???

I have been racing for just over one year now. I have recently been finding that towards the end of the race, I begin cramping up. Just a few days ago I found myself at the end of a race (approx. 55 miles) my legs had hit the wall. I was having extreme cramps every time I stood up, stretched, stopped pedalling, and anything besides keeping the same cadence. Throughout the race, I was riding at my threshold for much of the time as we were in a break for most of the race. What can I do before a race to prevent that from having that happing during the races? Any input will help. Thanks all!!!
