Cramp whilst racing/sailing

   I got it in my chest, was convinced it was a heart attack at being undertaken by my man in his Laser.

Then I realised my impact vest had shrunk over the winter along with my wetsuit.

Naturally the answer came to me at the bottom of the first glass of recovery fluid.

	Normally I get cramp after a good beat then promptly loose places with trying to unknot my calf muscles. Not good for boat speed standing up wobblying about trying to straighten my leg. My patent cure as a Phantom sailor is eat more pies drink more beer. maybe I should change to gin and tonic hasnt that got something good in it for cramp?

	The fountain of youth In all seriousness though I find it is usually because a specific area gets cold and goes in to spasm.

	I had a monster attack last night on the first reach, I can't say it's just a recent problem because I remember getting a serious bout during the 1st round of the Windsurfer National series in Hythe in May of 1978. Another of the chaps I race against on the lake also got turned around and handed me his position thanks to a nasty spasm a couple of weeks back. So, anyone else suffer? Anyone got any pet cures, advice? Edited by iGRF - 16 May 14 at 4:05pm
