Just because I was interested. I weighed myself this morning. Naked (sorry for the image) after breakfast and post dump (see first parentheses) I knew I’d piled it on but had been avoiding actually looking...
84.7kg
Then I strapped on a 30lbs bergan and ran 10km across Dartmoor (over 400 mtrs of steep climb and two river crossings, dog was in heaven).
I drank 1.5 ltrs of water during and two double espresso with 200ml of hot milk (I guess 400ml total) after and ate a chicken sandwich.
I am going somewhere with this, bear with me.
At no point did I feel thirsty or stressed. Sweaty, yes, despite cold air temps it was sunny and I was down to Under Armour within 200mtrs of the car.
I drove home, stripped (see that first parentheses again) and got on the scales.
81.2kg
O. M. G!
Something I knew intellectually, but had never empirically tested before. Bearing in mind I had eaten/drunk ~ 2.5kg between weighings, I burned through 6kg of water on that run!
Incidentally, I didn’t pee until after the second weighing (back up there, you know where, first parentheses).
Shouldn’t I be dead?
(Also, forgot to start Strava until I was already on top of Saddle Tor, hence the missing 700mtrs and missing elevation gain).
