Hi folks. I know most don't need advice on staying hydrated in these kinds of conditions but better to say something and not need to than NOT to say something and need to. Over the last 7 years I've run quite a few very long distance races (I'm very slow but I'm very steady so I finish, but usually pretty far down the order) in high heat conditions in our super humid conditions of Georgia and Alabama summers but also in Arizona under dry conditions and even higher heat. So I have a little experience needing to be well hydrated.
- BRING THAT 20OZ BOTTLE
- take sips relatively frequently, don't gulp. Gulping the water can make you sick to your stomach and if you throw up you'll just be making yourself even less hydrated
- refill early and often
- if you haven't been drinking lots of water today then start right this moment. I should have given that advice much earlier in the week and for those who don't know that already and haven't been doing it I apologize.
