Since we are trying to start another topic in this thread let me tell you a tale of heat.....
Central Valley , Ca. About 4 August's ago. I am playing in a tennis tourney and the temp. is about 105. SO on the courts it's about 120 ish...It's early Sunday mornigs . I play a 2 and half hour semi-final match. No problems. I play about a 3 hour finals match. I win. yeah me.
My wife pours me into the back of the SUV for about an hour ride home. Minor cramps on the road. Nothing out of the ordinary. We pull into the driveway and my WHOLE Body cramps up.
Firetrucks-with lights/sirens, ambulances,wife in hysterics, busy body Bonnie from across the street. It was a spectacle. Give me some IV's and a ride to the hospital. EKG's, blood tests, heart tests man it was a 6 six hour emergency room visit.
Believe it or not I know how to take care of myself in the heat and sometimes even doing the right stuff is not enough. I always drink water/gatorade and even eat banana's between games.
