I did keep myself full of water - but I'm sure it was forgetting about the food that did me in....
BTW, I only had one game Saturday so that was a piece of cake... then on Sunday, another four with absolutely no problems... felt I could do two more if I had to. 
So my lesson learned there is don't forget to EAT as well as hydrate. |
If you were only drinking water and not eating, you may have suffered from hyponatremia (water intoxication). The symptoms are almost the same as dehydration or heat exhaustion, but drinking more water is the wrong thing to do, since a person with hyponatremia is overhydrated and needs electrolytes, not water.
