[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great replies here. I'd second the following: check thyroid just to be sure discuss if it's her breathing with her, if so consider trying an inhaler cool towel, cooler with cold drinks, especially Gatorade type drinks shade loose clothes - personally all that wicking stuff actually makes me hotter so have her try loose cotton too. Hat when not competing if in sun with no tent And I'd add some Gatorade to the pre-hydrate stage. Our DK has all sorts of heat intolerance due to a medical condition and potassium, magnesium and salt can all cause heat intolerance if they are depleted (esp from sweating). There are "healthier" versions/do it yourself recipes but DK prefers Gatorade (not the low cal one though-need the sugar too on performance days). [/quote] NO GATORADE! [/quote]
