I am glad that you are feeling better and are well hydrated. Also good to hear that your triathlon training is going well. My triathlon is in less than six weeks and I am by no means ready. I've been so focused on school that tri stuff has been put on the backburner. However, starting today, I'm getting serious about it. Speaking of...off to go tackle some hills on the bike (hey, a hill workout on the recumbent bike works, right?). Oh man that is scary. I am glad that you are feeling better and are well hydrated.

Sounds very scary. And sadly, familiar. Perhaps Phoenix is a climate that demands constant wearing of a camelback? We should make you one to match your outfits. Ack! Sounds very scary.

I have some others to make first, though, so don't plan your runs around this! Okay, so if you get some wierd-looking crocheted item in the mail, see if a water bottle will fit in it!

Dehydration can give you some serious cramping, too. Have you ever tried a fuel belt? http://www.fuelbelt.com/ I have one. It's what I used all year when marathon training and has never let me down. Get a size smaller that you think you'll need and wear it on your natural waist (waaaay up there). It's a lot more comfortable than running with a camelpack , easier to clean, and you can fill some with water and others with gatorade on really hot days or long runs. And, surprisingly, it doesn't flop around on you like you'd think it would. Keep up the training! OH, chica, be careful with that. Dehydration can give you some serious cramping, too.
