Re: [RC] A new lesson learned at Liberty Run part Two - Truman Prevatt
I was sponsoring a friends son on a very hot ride in South FL some
years back. Since it was so hot we were worriend about the horses and
Daniel didn't drink enough. On the third loop it hit him hard and by
the time we got back in he was in pretty bad shape. His mom wanted him
to pull rather than go back out in the heat of the day.
I said let's try this and gave him two large glasses of water with
Emergen-C over about a 15 minute period. By 40 minutes he had revived
and you could not have kept him from going on. We even raced off for
10'th place and that little sap sucker beat me ;-). Another Emergen-C
and he was off doing what all good 11 year old boys should be doing -
pestering 11 year old girls.
More than once I've given people a packet of Emergen-C when they
thought they were done and it instantly revived them. Good stuff.

I never leave home without Emergen-C. In a true emergency when water
is scarce, I've even ripped open the packet and poured a quarter or
half cup of water in it slowly (it fizzes out otherwise) and drank
that. Emergen-C is truly a good thing to have in an emergency such as
you described. My experience when a person gets dehydrated is that
more than water is needed, and Emergen-C does the trick.
Anyone on this list use the Emergen-C chewable tablets? They might be
even better to carry.
