Hello,
In 2006 and this year, I keep cramping on the last half mile of an open water 5k when I try to surge to the finish. I am thinking of trying gatorade or banasas in the future to prevent that from occuring.
Has anyone had this issue and what have they done? I have done at least 10+ races and it has only occurred in the last 2 and it is very frustrating to have to stop and work out a knot in my leg in the middle of the races.
My other issue is my vision has gotten worse. I have always worn swedish goggles and I cant find those in prescription goggles and havent learned how to wear contacts. Anyone know of a comfortable prescription goggles? I have bought a few pairs and they hurt my nose after a half hour.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
PJE

Perhaps try more kicking sets and kick with more intensity during practice. I kick a lot (1/3 of my workout is kick usually) and I don't get leg cramping issues when OW swimming.
