A fluid strategy is important not only for performance but also for safety
and enjoyment. Without a good fluid plan you won't be able to make the most
of your training. A common theme coming out of the round Taupo ride was
people running out of fluid late in the ride. Not wanting to lose contact
with their bunch, riders wouldn't stop to grab needed water.
How much fluid do you need?
Everyone is different, if you live in a cold climate and are going to race
in a warmer one then not doubt you will need to drink more than usual. If
you practice drinking good amounts of fluids you will be able to drink more
in events as well. Your body will adapt to what you show it. Below is a
general guide to give you a ball park figure.
