Re: [RC] headaches & dehydration - Karen SullivanOther thing guaranteed to give me headaches is not eating a really good breakfast that is high in protein (eggs). If I miss my protein, I can get blood sugar slumps, and get really headachy and even shaky and dizzy. I always carry, in my fanny pak, Tiger Mike bars, which are a very cost-effective source of protein. ONe of those always picks me up. karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colleen Carlton" <ccarlton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Lysane, To echo what others have said already, you are probably dehydrated and need to drink more water, sport drink, or juice. I now use the CamelBak hydration method because reaching down for the water bottles while riding, and then sliding the bottles back into their holders was too much effort. I ended up not drinking often enough. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
