Yes, you're right about the brain controlling all those functions and decisions....maybe that is why I have done some of the things that I have done in the last...oh, 40 years. Not because my mother dropped me on my head...which she did, but because I have been functioning at a less than normal level of hydration (and no telling what else). I like that....It can be my new moto. "I do stupid stuff, because I am dehydrated." Do you think that AERC will let me sign up as a mentor....knowing this? Dehydration is one component of DIMR (Distance Induced Mental Retardation). It doesn't take a 100 to have it become an issue, though. I had to pull from the first Colorado Horse Park 50 because of dehydration (me, not my horse). -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
