Quote:Caldwell says the two things that worry him about training camp are injuries and the heat. I definitely agree with number one - injuries are my main worry too. But is heat really an issue these days? Don't they have hydration down to a science?

You can't be serious? Please tell me you're being sarcastic?


I work in the Texas heat(100+ degrees) and I can tell you this, it doesn't matter how much you're on top of it, you can always get behind on your hydration. It's like that moment when you start to feel thirsty, you're already starting to dehydrate. Above 91 degrees, your body starts to go into overdrive. Depending on what you had to eat that day, it can also throw off your hydration. There's no set hydration. I'm also a cyclist and I can tell you that most of the time you're not thinking about drinking or eating anything until it's too late.
