Surviving the Paris Olympic Marathon: The Importance of Hydration Strategies

Oh crazy, crazy. At the Olympic in Paris they only gave tap water. This is pretty crazy, eh. It was 6 hours and 27 minutes, a real. You can see that Alex was going absolutely soaked from top to bottom. This is sweat, huh? From the embarrassment that hit and we were all going absolutely the same, not only Alex, and in the drinking habits, they only gave water from the Paris tap. That is why it was so important to carry your own bottle, with some salts that were already dissolved inside the bottle, or you already die from single-dose salts to take with the water they gave you for his 76% disability, Alex has to make 1 very, very, very effort, very, very heavy to swallow, so in Paris, all of us on the team were carrying extra bottles to get Alex used to. We used to add single-dose salts of lifepro to these bottles, that were already inside the bottle. Like the eating part, Alex is also complicated by swallowing. We also included inside these same bottles, gels. The first part of the race without caffeine, and from kilometer 16, 18, already with caffeine, and above all, for dehydration. When Alex was had enough of so many flavored drinks, we put clean water with the salts in individual tablets.
