[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fainted at ours, so I’m clearly not doing it right! [/quote] As someone who passes out when she overheats, can I give you some tips? 1. Sit in shade 2. Continuously hydrate (sip water) 3. Sunglasses 4. Wet a washcloth and put it in the freezer, then bring it with you in a ziplock baggie to put around your neck - if you've brought water, you can re-wet it easily. 5. Your body gives you a signal or two before you pass out - for me, I all of a sudden can't see despite my eyes being open and everything sounds like it's underwater - learn what your body's signals are, and how much of a warning that is to get somewhere safe where you won't hit your head. I have about five seconds and I sit down wherever I am, and try to tell someone, anyone, "I'm passing out." [/quote]
