scubagirl, scubagirl, scubagirl,
You've obviously forgotten your open water
training. when you cramp, straighten you leg,
grab the end of you fin and gently pull towards
you. . .
oh, wrong sport. nevermind.
Seriously though, you can use the above to relieve
cramp when riding(without fins!), alternately you can stand
with 'the balls of your feet on a curb and GENTLY lower
your heel, stretching your calves, DO NOT BOUNCE.
I'd load on potassium and magnesium via
bananas and not just on the ride. I eat 2 a day
and don't have problems with cramping anymore.
Check out the composition of your sports drink if you
are using one, make sure it has P and Mg in it.
Given the weather here its easy to mess up electrolyte
balance due to excess sweating and drinking large
amounts of water to rehydrate.
Hope this helps,
Marty
