This is great; thanks for posting the data. Curious to know if you have tracked the body water % in your training? Tanita did a very interesting study of body water % and finish times for IRONMAN Louisville, which shows higher body water % correlating to lower finish times, likelihood of finishing.

I haven’t tracked it.

I always take this stuff with a grain of salt. In my mind if you get dehyrated during the race to a point where it slows you down, you usually feel it and then try to hydrate back up.

The winner of a race might not be “The most dehydrated person”, but they might be “The most dehydrated person that didn’t get so dehydrated that they totally stopped and hit the aid stations hard”.

There’s probably a line in there. I also wonder how body composition is impact in that tanita study. I’d like to see % BF and finish times and muscle mass and finish times.
