[pct-l] Too Much Water May Be Deadly for Athletes

Greetings:

I sweat a lot and when I replace fluids in a town stop on a hot day, I can
go into some kind of electrolytic shock. My thinking is that the sweating
takes out a lot of electrolytes, along with the water and by replacing only
the water, my electrolyte level plummets.
