Well, it's all a matter of deficit. Every time I saw him, he
was drenched. He could have taken 2 cups at every
mile/station, but if he sweat 2.5 per
mile... He also made the mistake of wearing a silver blue
outfit (shorts and shirt) that turned navy blue as he
perspired--not the best color for a hot day. He went
home, feeling like he wanted to puke the whole way,
took a shower, and as he stepped out of the shower,
splat, down he went. The paramedics took him to
emergency at a local hospital, they put him on an IV,
and he felt much better. Of course, that IV probably
also had electrolites, so he could have been low on
those, too.
