Re: [RC] Secrets to Hydration??? help...... - Truman PrevattRDCARRIE@xxxxxxx wrote:I, too, have hydration problems, and am eagerly awaiting input from others. Here's what I do...I wear a 100 oz. Camelbak. My experience with camelbaks was the heat the keep in because to the large amount of surface area they covered was a huge problem. The heat it kept overrode the benefit they provided from supplying water. I threw my away and did much better. The biggest breakthrough came when an old buddy of mine visited. We used to play a lot of tennis and played many a tournament together. He reminded me of the rule we had in tennis -drink before you need to. Drink at every net change. In endurance that translates to drinking starting five miles in the ride - before you get 5% dehydrated and it is starting to become a problem. Drink early and drink often is the key. Camelbaks hold in a lot of heat and for my money are a bigger problem than solution. Truman -- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
