[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 789165, member: 9662"] He didn't blow the stations, I was riding my bike beside him with fluids, gels and food if needed. He also took fluids at the stations. My theory is that he didn't hydrate properly prior to the race, which is WAY important. IMO, I think running Jax would help him in many ways. He can count this race as a training run, taper, and run Jax, as long as he takes care of his fluid/nitritional needs properly. Again, jmho. The medical tent personel told him that he was probably losing fluid from his respiration since the humidity was way low that day, but to the point of delirium? My normal workout on Saturday morning is a 10 mile run followed by a 40+ mile bike ride. I prepare myself pretty well for these workouts, though on occassion I have slacked on the fluid intake during the run/ride. I've gotten to the end of the ride, which includes a bridge, and started cramping, which is no fun at all. [/QUOTE]
