As the hot, dry weather hits CO, I'm faced with my perennial problem of staying hydrated. I drink
and pee a lot during rides of 2-4 hours, often with cytomax, and ditto after the rides, but come 6
hours later or especially the next morning I seem to be very dehydrated. It's as if the liquids
can't really be absorbed that quickly and they just pass through me without getting into my cells or
wherever they need to be.
My suspicion is that there is some kind of electrolyte balance I need to observe to get the water
into my system, and water (with or without cytomax) is not doing it. I know some endurance
athletes take salt pills or similar. I was wondering is anyone has this experience and may have
found a good solution.
Thanks in advance
