@TooManyDogs are you still in Tampa and not drinking enough? I lived there for two years and would be concerned about dehydration, especially April - November. I second everything already mentioned, including:
- Take a drink whenever you slow for a corner, stop for a light, etc
- Take bigger sips / gulps
- Set a timer on your head unit, set it for more often than you think you need to drink (eg 10 minutes instead of 15)
- Drink whenever someone else does
- Use another trigger to remind you to drink (eg whenever a car passes (ha), you see wildlife, you catch a glimpse of the ocean or bay, etc)
- If doing intervals, drink one minute before and after every interval
- Practice on the trainer
Also consider if the drink mix you use isn’t flavorful / appealing. I make my own to save a little bit of money but use Nuun tabs for electrolytes and flavors. I randomize the tabs within a tube so each bottle is a different flavor, so finishing one off adds a bit of motivation.
Good luck!
