Pre-Race and during race nutrition

Hi all, I am swimming in the 3.5 mile Beach to Beach power swim in St. John this weekend. So far, the longest event I have been in is 2.4 miles. My concern for this 3.5 mile is a good nutrition program pre-race and some ideas for nutrition during the race. I started cramping (feet, hamstrings) at the end of the 2.4 mile. I realize some of this could be related to my kick. However, if their is a way to minimize this with good race nutrition, I want all the advice I can get. I have something of a program I follow. However, I don't want to describe it. I would rather have the pros on this site give me a fresh perspective. Thanks, T
