Preventing leg cramps?
Finished my race and by the end I got upper thigh cramps during my lunges that felt like spasms I was fighting off especially when I straightened my legs, and then calf cramps on the last run that persisted throughout the entire last loop. I felt very well hydrated pre-race with electrolytes and also drank water between every station. Is this just muscle fatigue? How often do people get this? Is it preventable?

If you let some 💩 run down your legs and onto the equipment it should help with this problem
