People who don't get outdoors much can't believe this. People who try riding with me usually end up borrowing some water before the end of the ride.<br /><br />I supose it's possible to drink too much water, but it's never happened to me.Mtn Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982248449574464368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455819.post-33246416605295659862011-06-05T21:54:43.189-04:002011-06-05T21:54:43.189-04:00Very true!

We started out early in the day, but eventually the heat ended up getting to me. I have to say that for years I was told that you should always just drink water to cool yourself down. We had a good supply of ice cold water. But at one point I overdid it and was feeling pretty cruddy even after sitting down in the shade for a while. My buddy wanted me to put a towel over my head and pour some ice water on it. I was very skeptical as I'd heard that you should just wipe off sweat and let perspiration do it's thing. <br /><br />But I trusted this guy. Hell, who else who you go out and run chainsaws with but someone who you trust? So I gave it a shot. It brought me back like nothing else I've ever felt. So sometimes the scientific advice, or the advice of drill instructors, can be just a bunch of BS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
