Triathlon Training - day of the toe and rest

I did something in yesterday's swim that gave me cramp in my foot which then turned into a bl**dy painful big toe all day today. Out with the ibuprofen again. I have to do bricks training (bike and run) tomorrow morning and I won't be able to if it still hurts like this.

I been using some sports drink from High5 through the latter stages of training. You mix it from dust but it tastes ok and the only reason I went for this one is that it has no artificial sweeteners - just glucose, sugar and salts. It's the isotonic one and it's pretty good.

Yesterday's swim was a bilateral breathing session where you breathe on every three strokes rather than every two. Sounds easy but the oxygen deficit soon builds up and you quickly end up out of breath.
