<p>It's 90+ with high humidity and I am the sweatiest girl I know...let's say that my runs will be getting longer as the summer progresses and I'm thinking about s-caps and the like. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Product suggestions?  Good experiences, bad experiences?  What should I try first?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BTW - The first thing I do after a hot run is drink cold fluids and eat olives (and drink the salty delicious juice, but I'm weird like that) to help replenish.</p>

<p>Ewwwwwwwwwwww!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Adco recently suggested that I may need salt tabs.  I sweat out a lot of salt apparently, and when I finish I'm crusty.</p>

<p>I swear by S!Caps (made by Succeed).  I take one before long runs/rides and every hour during.  I have a lot of thick, curly hair and sweat like crazy.  I find when I stay on top of my salt intake I don't get lethargic and am able to stay focused.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Cool - I'm hoping to avoid all of the nasty 'the world is spinning' nonsense that tends to happen in high temps.</p>

<p>the world is always spinning</p>
<p>just sayin</p>
<p> </p>
<p>else we'd be dead </p>

<p>Sparty...</p>
<p>I'm also a fan of dill pickles after long hot runs.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Does anyone have any links to research about this.. I know I need LOTS of salt and have tried different things, but I remember someone a while ago had some great info. </p>

<p>Ron - BIG help...<span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Stitch - I often throw in a couple dills with the olives.   YUM!</span></p>

<p>The first time I heard about the pickle solution was after one of our bike & breakfast rides.</p>
<p>One of the other riders always asked for a dill spear w/ his breakfast bagel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soooo</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I then was running @ a friend's house in the SUPER heat...</p>
<p>and was soaked and drippy at the finish.</p>
<p>She had those salad dills, the ones that are sliced flat.</p>
<p>I finished the last three of those....</p>
<p>and then drank the juice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She was grossed out.</p>
<p>I was happy.</p>
<p>It was a good afternoon.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I keep a jar of them in my fridge now, just in case.</p>

<p><br>
Yeah...but I can't carry pickles in my pockets!</p>

<p>Oooo...</p>
<p>Nice new accessory option Hobey!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think you'd have to get dill pickle slices instead of whole ones, too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or, just stash them along the course in a cooler!</p>
