I didn't bother eating during the race, and drank only about 1.5 liters of
sport drink. Man, I really have a lot to learn about skiing. If I drink that much over a 7-hour bike race, I'm all sore afterwards! Don't Nordic bones need a bit of lubrication? ;-) |

Maybe they do, but these "Made in The USA" bones didn't seem to need too much! I meant to hint that there might be a relationship between your drinking habit during a 7-hour workout, and your discomfort afterwards or even during. Perhaps drinking is too much of a chore in skiing? I now crosskate with a camelbak and hands-free tube, so I can just pole along an drink. Over 1.5hrs of training/chatting at 3șC I already drink about a litre! I read once that the body likes water/sports drink best when it's at 15șC. If drinking is regarded important, but a chore, it can help to make it a bit salty. A bit of help to promote thirst, and not let it flow through the body too quickly. I cna be a lazy drinker when I'm pre-occupied, the salt really does help in meeting my liquid intake goals then. I drink more than 1.5l of water watching XC ski on TV for 7 hours! :-) I'll say it again, respect for guys like you that take part in such events. To think three are so many thousands taking part, so much more manly than myself :-) schreef in bericht oups.com...
