    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    I'm gonna be sweating tomorrow. 10-miler with a buddy prepping for Rainier. Gonna be 96 and humid. This is a known trail for me but I've never hiked it in those conditions. I'm gonna leave a trail of toxins.............

    Potassium, magnesium, and salt are all lost when we sweat heavilly. It's important to replenish those so muscle cramping can be avoided especially on multi day trips.

    Hey Chin, wasn't that a great hike? We should certainly be purified of any toxins. Glad I don't have to do it again today!

    I was fine til the last couple miles then the heat got to me. Once I got home I was shot for the rest of the day. I had to force myself to eat, hot, cold, hot/cold at the same time.....miserable. I feel fine today, I think.

    That kind of heat worries me on my thru attempt next year. It is one reason I plan on starting early.

    You're gonna be fine next year. By the time you get to that kind of heat (if you ever do) you'll be in such good shape you'll take it in stride.

    I hope. Shedding some pounds by that point will help too.
