Normally the temps are to low i guess. I do cramp when in a overly hot pool (nasty) and when coming off the wall in the pool, sometimes that causes my feet to cramp. Cramps on a bike....hardly ever. Cramps on the run, I was always told by past running coaches that you cramp up from not hydrating properly, like taking in to much liquid before or during a run. Staying hydrated as an athlete should be a daily effort not a last minute event before your race. I also find that when I break stride or begin to do irregular things while swiming, ridding, or running I might get minor cramps. When I cramp swimming it freaks me out but I just keep going with out paying attention to the cramp and let it work its way out. Hope that helps a little. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>John </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>I am unaware of anyone who has ever died of a foot cramp or side cramp so kick it out </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:1fd61013-4d23-45ea-a6b5-eb7f844b2edc] --> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:53:40 GMT YeahJohn http://community.active.com/message/489011?tstart=0#489011 2008-07-19T19:53:40Z 1 year, 4 months ago 0 http://community.active.com/message/488763?tstart=0#488763 <!-- [DocumentBodyStart:1b97cfde-6a71-459f-a1bd-2db5dc461884] --><div class='jive-rendered-content'><p>So, while you're swimming/biking/running, how do you guys get rid of cramps, or do you just have to touch it out?&nbsp; Also, how and why do they happen?</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:1b97cfde-6a71-459f-a1bd-2db5dc461884] --> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:40:23 GMT dnavarro82 http://community.active.com/message/488763?tstart=0#488763 2008-07-18T16:40:23Z 1 year, 4 months ago 1 0
