How to Fuel on HOT Days
JULY TCSD EVENTS AQUATHLON Thursday, July 19th Location: La Jolla Shores see page 6 for details
JULY CLUB MEETING TBD
Sweat is your body’s mechanism to cool itself in hot environments. In fact, the more trained you are the better your mechanism to sweat and cool yourself. If you have a high sweat rate, it’s a sign that you have good cooling. As you might guess, to maintain a high sweat rate, which is ultimately what you want in hot environments, you need significant amounts of fluid. Training and racing in cold weather is significantly different than training and racing in hot
weather, so your nutrition program needs to be adjusted to reflect these variations. More specifically, you should pay close attention to how much you are sweating during hot weather training. In very arid environments your sweat can evaporate almost immediately, making some athletes under evaluate their sweat rates. It’s often in these environments that your sweat rate is, in fact, the highest even though you don’t necessarily see or feel moisture on your skin. In hot conditions, hydration (the consumption of water and electrolytes) trumps your calorie continued on page 16
UPDATE Camp Pendleton Cycling Access Change Effective Monday, July 9, cyclist must obtain a BIKE PASS from the visitor center in order to ride thru/on the base. The online registration method will no longer be used. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton has implemented policies that focus on access control procedures to ensure the protection of its residents. It is a Defense Biometric Identification System, a new Physical Access Control System. Information phone number: (760) 763-6348. Open Mon-Fri 7:30am to 3:30pm.
1. Visit the south entry visitor center, to the right of the main gate, during business hours. 20250 Vandegrift Blvd, Oceanside Ca 92058. There is a parking lot as well. 2. Bring government id; driver’s license, etc. 2. Fill out required form and give thumb print. 3. Receive “instant” pass right then and there. Sorry foreign nationals, you must be escorted by a military personnel while on base, so that is a no go for riding on base.
