I share because recently it was shown that an issue in my last two races was both low sodium levels in my blood, likely compounded if not caused by too much water. In the heat we sweat more than just water out, and if we are not replacing it with other nutrition, we are diluting what remains in our blood stream, which can impact performed and in serious cases, health.
Group Run: We will meet at the Community Gym in Cedarburg 7am Saturday morning, and head North on the “Grafton Route.” You can see the full route if you follow the group run link to our website. There will be water and Gatorade on the route, but feel free to carry what you need also.
Spring Cleaning our mailing list: Each year we clean out our mailing list to ensure that those getting this emails really are the ones wanting to be in the loop. If you can use the link to confirm your desire to keep getting these emails before June 10th, as after that we will be using our new mailing list for all communication.
Hydration drive: Starting our Saturday June 2nd will be the first of three weeks of our hydration drive. Our group has no membership fees, and it is because of the generosity of all of you who donate water, Gatorade, and more for our water stops. If you are able, please donate a case of water or Gatorade on June 2nd, 9th, or 16th. You can just bring those supplies to the group on Saturday, and I will add them to our collection that is used all year long. We have a little water left in our reserves from last year, but are very low on Gatorade. Thanks in advance for your donations.
Per usual, hang around after our run for a cup of coffee at Fiddleheads!!!
