So….what does that mean??? It means we’ll need to be extra careful and hydrate hydrate hydrate! They advise you to take in extra fluids in the days leading up to the walk as well. If the hot day doesn’t get to you, it might hit you the following day. I’ll have to remember to keep on drinking even after I get back to camp and start all over again the following morning.
This pink walker will be fueled on lots of water, salty snacks and gaterade this weekend (with a DD ice coffee in there too of course).
