Did you guys get the impression that it was what Freya drank from a water bottle - or her entire fluid intake (food & drink) for the day ? Different people do seem to have very different fluid-replacement needs, but the modern 'experts' vie with each other in pushing athletes to drink more and more per hour. We recently had a local runner pass out from what turned out to be fluid overload. It seems to be a modern fad, probably sponsored by the bottled water industry. Somehow, most of us survived our younger athletic activity with only the occasional drinking fountain or hose-end refreshment - and it wasn't that we didn't sweat ;-) Best Regards Paul Hayward, Auckland, New Zealand *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
