Ditto! Hydrate! I remember an old NIKE commercial and it said if you're thirsty you're already a quart low!

Methinks that Nike might have a vested interest.

My understanding is that thirst is an accurate reflection of need, but that doesn't change the fact that 6 pounds in 8 hours is unhealthy - unless perhaps you are an elephant following a Richard Simmons video.

It wasn't that hot (93 indoors, 102 near the ovens)but it was humid and we were short handed so there wasn't much down time. I always take 4 or 5 liter size bottles of sparkling water to work with me and drink them all but rarely need to "pause for the cause."

Nope, I'll never get sunstroke, my water processing equipment works overtime.....but thank you for the good advise!
