[quote=Anonymous]These are great tips I will add: - Not all shade is equal - grass is 20-40 F cooler than concrete. Set up under a tree. - pre-hydrate before the event - take a cool shower before you leave and leave hair damp - drink the coldest beverages that you can. Ingesting cold fluids is very effective in lowering your body temp. A smoothie in a thermos, drinks that are mostly ice, frozen blueberries, etc. - bring a cooler with reusable frozen cold packs. I have ones from Amazon that are made to go around the neck and some that are arm sleeves. Put them over your arteries (radial, brachial) and right on your palms and soles of your feet (where your body excels at releasing heat) and they will cool you faster. [/quote]
