Staying Hydrated

[mudskipper]

Its starting to get really warm already this spring, which makes me worry for the next couple months how hot it will get. I can never seem to really stay hydrated as I get icky when I drink too much liquid. Is there a magic ratio or just water and electrolyte drinks that can help with this? Or is all electrolyte or all water best?

I normally drink mostly water unless its a long practice and then I drink a serving or two of electrolytes just to replace some fo the minerals I am losing through all the sweating. I find just drinking water can make me a bit light headed. Drinking too much electrolytes makes me a bit queasy.

I drink only water as electrolytes makes me sick too. I have never had a problem with water making me light headed, maybe you are drinking too much?

I keep a SIGG bottle (one litre) with me at all times.
