Help! I swam my first open water 5K this past weekend and was significantly slowed by a recurrent foot cramp along the bottom of my right foot especially affecting my big toe. I could stretch it out and go on but it would happen again 10-15 minutes later. I have had this in the pool from time to time but thought it was from pushing off the wall. Any thoughts on future prevention of this?
Thanks for the advise:)

Thanks much! I come from a running background but my coach says I show pretty good leg form and flexibility at the ankle. I guess I just have to work with those fins more and quit relying so much on my legs to make up for my swimming technique deficits.
