That’s me last year posted right next to that hazardous sign with my two water bottles. That was day 2 and it was HOT HOT HOT!!
In some of these extreme conditions get people extremely dehydrated because they don’t pay attention to the 3 Rs of the 3 Day. Refuel, Rehydrate, Relieve yourself. That’s right; you should be drinking enough to see the inside of that port-a-potty on a regular basis. Hey guess what? No one likes port-a-potties – but they are a heck of a lot better than the alternative. Bring plenty of hand sanitizer and take one for the team.
It’s important to alternate water with Gatorade – I don’t think I drank the stuff for 6 months after last year’s walk! Don’t forget the salty snacks as well to replace the sodium levels in your body. No need to pack them, the walk is scattered with pit stops and grab and goes stocked to fuel up throughout the day.
I hope they have those PB&J gram cracker thingies again this year yum!
