To say that my dehydration event earlier in the week was scary is an understatement... The further away from the event the more I realize I should have stopped earlier than I did. None the less, if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger, right?
So today I headed back to the open gym for more volleyball. This time however I came prepared.
I bought a gallon of bottled water and brought it with me... That takes care of the water, but the doctor suspected that I also was out of salt... So I ate 5 almonds right before entering the gym and I ate 5 more almonds half way through...
I drank my fill of water in between each game and in total I finished a little less than half the bottle.
Properly hydrated with plenty of sodium I had no trouble playing the full 2 hours... Yes I am tired and yes I am a little sore, but I did not have a single dizzy spell and I feel fine and am having no trouble working this afternoon...
I still think I am a little ways away from playing basketball, but volleyball is very manageable and an excellent workout...
Stokes my competitive fire... Tomorrow is my 3rd weigh in and I have high hopes of losing 5+ lbs this week.
