The Pool & Hydration

It's probably not something you think about...I mean you're in water. But think of the way the chlorine dries out your skin...so your body's pushing more water to the surface and it's leaving your body. Just cause you aren't sweating, doesn't mean you're not losing fluid. You are. So remember to keep hydrated while in the pool or open water. I've been taking bottles of my Cytomax mixture to the gym with me, getting looks from some of the folks around me in the process when they see my weird orange mixture. But I've not experienced any major calf cramps while in the pool and I attest this to proper hydration. I've noticed that if I'm planning a brick, I do better and feel better afterward (less residual soreness/heavy legs) when I drink the mixture instead of plain old water.
