Everyone please be careful and mindful of symptoms and carry plenty of cold hydration with you.
Today the rain is gone but I have been sweating bullets from the get go even though I'm drinking plenty of fluids. You just never can be too careful and this can sneak up on you like flies on honey!
When it gets real bad out, you need more water than gatorade, but you still need gatorade for the salts and electrolites.
DO NOT drink soda on a day like that, it can kill you. It takes roughly twice the amount of water as the soda you drink just to break even on the water used to digest it.
