Drinking enough water is crucially important--especially in a race. Many
of the undesirable aspects of racing--poor performance, muscle soreness, even
injury--are partially or wholly attributable to dehydration. When you
perspire, the water is drawn from the blood stream. If you haven't had enough
water there'll be a shortage of this vital fluid for the cells and muscles.
Glycogen won't be as efficiently converted to fuel, wastes won't be eliminated
properly, and oxygen cannot be delivered quickly.
