I hit age 71 later this year. How late in life do I have to wait here

ps. I am not arguing that you are necessarily wrong. I really don't know. I do however know from my serious running days back about 35-40 years ago that much more fluid loss than this was a SERIOUS performance problem. I did that twice and that was the last time (I thought it was a pace problem the first time).
