Then you start sweating it out before it has a chance to reach the bladder. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2596#comment-40157 Funky Dung Tue, 24 Apr 2007 19:16:52 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2596#comment-40157 If I drink too much at the start of a race, I have to contend with a full bladder during. That is not pleasant. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2596#comment-40156 Steve Nicoloso Tue, 24 Apr 2007 19:06:57 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2596#comment-40156 Ah, I'm finally on the browser where alesrarus actually renders for me... I sufferred that kind of fall-apart in two races last year: the Allentown Half and the Virginia 10-miler, and I'm convinced that it was due to dehydration. I weigh about 195 and lose 3-4 lbs. per hour of hard running depending on the temp. At the Bethlehem (South Mountain) 10 Miler I blogged about before, I nipped this by eating salt-encrusted bagels (2) for breakfast and drinking a 20 oz. gatorade in the start gate, and did really well. I run Allentown next Sunday... the plan is to eat salt bagels again and this time take a whole liter of gatorade in the start. I'll blog the results... hoping for a 1:48:00... we'll see. Cheers!
