Subject: RE: Second Tri and second time calf cramped on bike I know it was hot on the Sunday for the OD but not sure the weather Saturday which may have attributes to sweating more. I found the hills on the OD (to Billingsgate and Westminster ) unexpected so had to work hardest than expected. I then got a twing of cramp in my thigh on the run which stayed for sometime but managed to get rid of it with a couple of gels and gatorade. Because of getting there late I hadnt prepared correctly so didnt take my usual powergel with added sodium. My legs felt fine running apart from the twing so Im putting mine down to hydration and electrolyte intake. You could always try a thigh compression guard (compressport.uk.com ), I have used them for longer distance events. |
