Howdy slowtwitchers. I have a conundrum.
Every triathlon I have done I have had one of my calf’s cramp. Here is the weird part. It only happens in races. Wet suit or Nonn wetsuit swims
The first 70.3 I attempted I dnf’d because of the calf cramp. I chalked it up to never trying one before and having fairly crappy nutrition(not only race day but in training and in life.
I have finished a few sprints, 1 Olympic and now 1 70.3. Every single time one of my calves cramped.
I have raced for a few years. Improved my nutrition in life and training/Racing. I finally feel like I have my nutrition under control.
In today’s swim my right calf cramped 150yards until the finish of the swim. I was going around a bouy and had to frog kick for sighting purposes. That’s when it hit.
I was very well hydrated this week and leading up to the race. Had about half a Gatorade before the start today. I take in some salt every so often throughout the week(more when I remember).
Anyone have any ideas?
