[RC] Heat and Conditioning - sherman

Okay, since we're on the subject, I could use some input as well. Storm doesn't like to start drinking until after 20 miles. On our first attempt at a 50, I decided to try without elytes to see how he would do. He drank some before 20 miles, then drank well from about 25 miles on. Ate consistenly along the trail & at vet checks. Had A's for gut sounds, B's on hydration, but by the time we were at about the 42/43 mile point, he was C on hydration even though he had been drinking lots. Next time, should I start elyting after he starts drinking to help him rehydrate quicker?
