#41 - Timing Your Hydration: One of the biggest challenges we have on the
trail is dehydrating. This is extremely important, but we too often lose track
drinking on a steady and regular basis. As you know, once you sense that you
are thirsty, it is too late. You are already dehydrated. We need a little
help in this critical area. I am going to start carrying a very light timer to
beep every 20 or 30 minutes to remind me that I should drink. Currently I am
looking at a timer at www.invisibleclock.com/?source=overture.
Of course you can set your watch to do this if it has the right functions.
Also, a timer on a pedometer would be clever too.
