AJC Peachtree Road Race: it's hot, drink up

AJC Peachtree Road Race
Be mindful of the need for water in the heat.

By Kristi E. Swartz

It’s getting real: the bib numbers for the AJC Peachtree Road Race will hit the mail starting today.

It’s going to take about a week for all of the numbers to be mailed out, so if you don’t get a number soon, don’t panic.

For those picking up a bib number at the expo, look for an email the week of June 24 with instructions on how to do so.

The temperatures may climb above 90 degrees today. I got in the car this morning with my usual bottle of water to drink while crawling through rush-hour traffic and thought this would be a good time to talk about how to stay hydrated while running.

It doesn’t matter if you’re running, shuffling or walking the AJC Peachtree Road Race, drinking water before, during and after the big event is crucial.

I pulled this link from the Atlanta Track Club’s website. It’s a little technical, but it breaks down how much you should drink and when.

It all comes down to this: However, unlike camels, the human body cannot store water; it must be replaced each day as part of your daily balance, the website says.

Can’t say that any better myself.
