Or you could just be a wuss. Just kidding. No, really I suggest a week off with heavy drinking and smoking - then try again. If that doesn't work it's probably the wuss thing.

Go back to cytomax and test the waters. And like Ronnie said make sure you pee clear every time. Be thankful you have not come down w/ this respiratory BS that is going around.

Being constantly dehydrated could cause those symptoms as fluids are what helps regulate your body's cooling system. Riding in the heat of the day (1 - 4) will take its toll really quick. The more dehydrated you are the higher the heart rate as your heart is attempting to move more blood to the skin surface to cool it. Ambient heat will do this too for the same reason. If you are riding daily in this heat and not constantly drinking on and off the bike you may be dehydrated. A dead giveaway is to note the color of your urine. If it isn't clearish to a very light yellow, you're probably dehydrated. When riding, a general rule of thumb is a bottle per hour. The hotter it is and the harder you ride the more you need to drink while riding. That's my input based on experience. Doc may have different ideas or input. ---- "Goocey M.K.
