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

I really like the Speedo Vanquisher corrective goggles. They come in smoke and clear, but not mirrored. Speedo also sells another model of corrective goggle that really digs into my nose but the Vanquisher shape and size are great for me.
I have owned corrective goggles by Water Gear that were acceptable but not that great. I also had some from Club Sport (the SwimOutlet "house brand") that were terrible on my nose until I took my pocketknife and whittled the nosepiece into a better shape.
Switching from noncorrective to corrective goggles made me feel a lot more confident about my navigation in open water. (Also, before I switched I couldn't lead my lane at workout because I couldn't read the clock.)
