I have been doing short triathlons for a couple of years. I purchased a new bike, P2C, that I love. But I have started to have the beginning of cramps in my calfs. Luckly I feel the sharp tug and then it stopped. But it is freaking me out.

Last year during a tri when completing the bike stage I had a horrible cramp in my calf right at the end. I have never sufferred cramping in anything. I have run and biked off an on for the last 32 years.

What do people do to stop this? I fear if it goes all the way to cramp in my calf while climbing I will crash. The pain is just too great.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you post pictures or a video of your bike position? I'm no doctor, but iif it's a fit problem, we can help with that!

I had calf cramping problems when my seat was too high.

Put light salt (half potassium chloride, half sodium chloride) in your drinking water - half a teaspoon to a quart of water. That should do the trick.

It can either be wrong position or lack of sodium in your system...
