Cramping

I have no idea why but, per the usual, my calf, foot and toes were cramping as I swam today. I think I alarmed the life guard when I had to stop in the middle of the pool to stretch--no easy task I might add at the 9 foot depth. Given the amount of electrolytes I consume in a day it cannot be a sodium or potassium shortage and I'm inclined to think it's due to the amount of force I exert coming off the wall. Does Nemo ever cramp? I don't think so, no wall to push off of.

A bike ride tomorrow in what is my "recovery week". Then I need to pack for a weekend of training at Lake Placid. I see the temperatures are very Adirondack, 50-70, which means the water will be about 60-62 degrees. If you are wondering, that is a wee bit cold.
