Did I drink enough??

We're so blessed to have lots of humidity in the Carolinas and we had tons of it today. I think the temps hit 85+ today as well. With it being one of our first warmer/humid riding days I made it a point of drinking every 10 mins-or at least I thought I did.

I took the Prince out and did 112 miles with a lot of the ride in the afternoon temps and a nice headwind the last 40 miles or so. I refueled on fluids several times and used some of the water to dump on my head, back, etc.

When I got home I weighed myself and I was 5 lbs lighter. That's not good....not good at all. No wonder my legs were cramping so badly when I pulled into the driveway I thought I was going to have to lay it over in the grass to get stopped. Guess I'm going to have to learn to tell time a little better.
