Waterlogged by Dr Tim Noakes.
He’s pretty controversial in his opinions but he was the first to actually make me think about why I wouldn’t need to follow a plan on hydration. Just drink to thirst.

The camelback on a 5k/10k is quite a ridiculous modern interpretation on hydration.

No scientific proof behind these statements, unfortunately. I highly recommend this book, a great read! Used to drink a lot and suffered from cramps regularly, now drink only by thirst and do perfect. (And I live in Spain and do long mountain races.)

Not many dead

> Gatorade advertisements have claimed that athletes need to consume at least "40 oz. per hour or your performance could suffer." South African exercise physiologist Dr. Tim Noakes found that Cynthia Lucero died from exercise-associated hyponatremic encephalopathy drinking Gatorade at "the rate recommended by the advertisements."

> Most people don’t understand that things like 2 minute noodles have 0 nutritional value and really high salt levels.

Salt doesn't cause obesity, and in fact doesn't cause any harm: http://garytaubes.com/works/

What do you think about the book Waterlogged and the idea that many, perhaps most, of us are overhydrating or over-supplementing? I hadn't considered it until I came across this thread in /r/trailrunning where folks are claiming no electrolytes are needed for runs of 2 hours or less.

I feel like I start to become completely unglued after about 8 miles of hard running if I don't supplement. So this idea intrigues me.

Waterlogged by Tim Noakes is about as in depth a look into that topic as you'll be able to find. If you can get it at a library, definitely sign it out, if not, it's worth buying.

You won't be missing any electrolytes. If you're still unsure about it, make your own. The WHO has recipes for good dehydration drinks.

About the amount of drinking, there was a UK runner who got into the hospital because she drank too much water. So I suggest, if you like the nerd aspect, read this book:

No one said you shouldn't use one, just that they didn't want to use one, so no problem.

Any ride under an hour you shouldn't need water, but if you like to drink, why not, as long as you don't overdo it.

You may want to try a bit less water and more electrolytes? Athletes will need more electrolytes because of loss from sweat. Drinking water and gatorade will both give a net loss of electrolytes.

You can calculate your sweat loss! Says it is for runners but no reason it couldn't apply to cyclists.
