So how do you know or gage when you had too much H2o? For me, it's a very vague symptom of feeling like the water just sloshes around in my stomach, and that it's failing to refresh me.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7491948/ Yup. It's true. My mom almost died from hyponatremia doing her first Ironman in '87. It's a very serious condition that can sneak up on you. I find electrolyte replacement drinks or caps on super-long or hot rides help me a lot. Most of the time I just bring some salty snacks like some baked chips or jerky. I think some people are also more prone to get it, and we've found my mom, my brother, and I are all pretty susceptable. Matt |

I think some people are also more prone to get it, and we've found my mom, my brother, and I are all pretty susceptable. Due to the kinda stupid amounts of water I go through riding in Arizona, I keep a small plastic tub of salt at my desk, and dip my (moistened) finger into it probably 10-12 times a day, and use extra salt on most of my food. I'm not sure, but I think it's helped with a persistent headached I used to get riding in the summer. Mark Hickey Habanero Cycles http://www.habcycles.com Home of the $695 ti frame |

I've experienced that a few times. I hate that feeling. I think the safest advice is to drink "water plus" while exercising for more than an hour, as well as eat.
