Subject: Anyone done Hickory Knob in SC?
I just finished my first race ever which happened to be an Oly distance race in Hartsville SC. I had a blast but realized that I wasn't in as fit as I thougth I was. I had some severe leg cramps about three miles into the run. I am wondering if anyone knows in the Hickory Knob course is as hilly as Hartsville. Just trying to decide if my next race should be a sprint. Also, are cramps the result of poor nutrition or fitness?

You cramped like 95% of everybody at Hartsville. It's called 27 miles of hills and 95 degrees. I did the sprint and boy am I glad. All my buds did the Oly and they are pretty competitive and they all sufferred except one who was real careful with his hydration. Come on to McCormick, it's my first Oly, I'll be dying but having a blast.
