triathlon clinic
I am nine weeks out of surgery (RNY) and have been doing a triathlon clinic. Last night we did a 20k ride, and then we follow it with a short 1.2 k run. About 10 steps after I got off my bike, my calves seized. I have done tri's in the past (even though I was huge), but have never had this happen. Does it have anything to do with the lack of potassium i'm getting?
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
It's possible you didn't take in enough electrolytes during your bike ride.
But also, if you push yourself really hard on the last part of the bike, it makes it harder to run after. Maybe you are pushing yourself harder now that you've lost weight and you are just in virgin territory when it comes to doing a brick.
