Hey guys, just wanted to remind everyone that its getting hot here are some tips for staying cool.
1. Drink fluids. - Drink a lot of water, dont drink a lot of sugary drinks they can dehydrate you faster than they hydrate you. If your going to drink gatorade its better to drink 2 waters per gatorade. That will give you the correct amount of electrolytes and sugar that you burn off to the proper amount of water. Dehydration leads to dizziness witch leads to passing out witch leads to IVs and hospital witch is NO FUN!!!!
2. Cool Clothing. - Yes its paintball, your going to probably dress up in a lot of clothes. To much clothing can cause you to sweet a lot more than you probably want to. So try and dress lightly to keep cool. Sleeveless shirts and elbow pads are a lot cooler than 4 long sleeve shirts. But remember take them off to cool off.
3. Damp Towels. - Last year I saw a couple of people bring coolers out with damp cool towels to keep cool in the hot weather. I think its a good idea. Just keep it in the cooler and drape it around the neck when taking a break.
4. Take Frequent Breaks. - Take frequent breaks. Go back to the staging area and drink some water or what not, take those heavy jackets and sweatshirts off.
If you have any tips post them up.
