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,

thanks for the race report.
one recommendation i would make is to keep track of your event nutrition based on time spent swimming and conditions (temp, tide, waves) as opposed to distance. different events/courses and conditions can result in a huge difference in minutes/mile.
