Health Information
Dehydration can be potentially lethal, particularly if you over-extend yourself in hot and humid conditions. However, your body can still overheat even if climatic conditions are only moderate. Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day prior to the event. Stop, walk or at least slow down at drink stations to allow adequate rehydration. DO NOT compete if you have had diarrhoea within 48 hours prior to the event or are suffering from viral infection or feeling unwell. If you feel distressed, disorientated, dizzy or excessively tired, SLOW down or rest for a while. If you do not improve WITHDRAW from the race. IT'S YOUR BODY – LISTEN TO IT – IT'S YOUR LIFE. We strongly suggest that you consult a Medical Practitioner before you commence any type of exercise program.
