Currently I'm riding with one bottle containing 1 Nuun Energy tablet, another just water- both 24oz. By 45 minutes in, the Nuun bottle is gone and by the hour / 1.5hrs in, I'm gulping down the remaining water. Granted the weather hovers 90's - 100's here in OC, it seems as if my thirst in insatiable and I wonder if I'm drinking way too much liquid. The kicker is that after downing these bottles, I still do not feel even remotely hydrated- basically parched. Is this a mental thing I can work on? Do I need to re-analyze my body vs. hydration needs? Or is this amount completely suitable given the circumstances?
Would love to hear some thoughts.
Too add, I'm definitely above my target riding weight and my sweating style while active is "torrential pouring" if you will.
