Today was a bit of an eye opener for me. I'm making some changes, based on the recent fatigue, heat, lack of motivation, heat, and slump I've been in. First off, I'm going back to eating more pre-run. For awhile I seemed to feel better eating very little in the heat. My pace and effort never really changed, but my recovery did. Second off, I think I'm chronically dehydrated. As in REALLY dehydrated.

I started at 5:15 before the sun was up, but still by the time we finished it was hot and humid. Even though I wasn't pouring water on me, my Cascadias were wet! I had to take the insoles out to let them dry. I could wring water out of my shorts. While you might say "Congrats, your head adaptation is working!", I'm still surprised at how much water I lost. I send a note to DH telling him to not let me leave the house until I rehydrated.

We've been buying fizzy water for me, it's extra pizzazz encourages drinking much like Nuuns used to do for me. On the way home I drank a water bottle, at home drank 750 ml of Fizzy water, and worked on another water bottle. I wasn't pee'ing right away, that was my first sign. But then I noticed I was feeling MUCH BETTER! As in WOW I'm AWAKE! The rest of the day had better energy. Hmmm...

For the rest of the day, I kept pushing water. And I felt good. This is really something to keep an eye on!

My swim was squeezed in near the end of the day. Another "have a half hour do what you can" swim. I did 200 swim, 200 pull alternating with one 300 swim. I was looking for (and finding!) that elusive long, stretched out, great catch feeling that I need. I was feeling it! :)
