I just returned back from my vacation on Hawaii...( running on Alii Drv it was one of my best runnings in my life.... )
I bought LAVA SALTS pills.... and I never train taking those pills... But in my first race of the year ( Oly race ) I faded on the run just because I sweated too much, it was a really hot day and I normally sweat much more than other people... My problem it was not the water because I drunk 2,5 liters of water in the bike leg.... So I think I lost too much salt....(
It´s normal in my training my body been covered by salt when gets dry.... )
I´m packing today for my first 1/2 Iron race and my question is: Do I use or not the lava salts ?????
I know that we shouldn´t try anything on the races, but I´m afraid of even DNF this race if is a really hot day.....( I´m glad its raining today... ) I was planing to take one pill just before T2.....
Any ideas ????
