[Bryn-gwlad] The Importance of Hydration and Pacing Yourself

[Ld. Alfred]

Greetings Barony of Bryn Gwlad,
  This is your reminder to start preparing for tomorrow's Pip, Tournament and Fighters Practice by imbibing plenty of low sugar, non-caffeinated, non-carbonated, non-alcoholic drinks to saturate your tissues before the exertions tomorrow eve.  Our fair weather enemies - heat and humidity have returned and are continually seeking those to whom they can cause harm.
 With the weather forecast having chances for rain nearly every day this week, the humidity level is going to remain higher that what we in Bryn Gwlad are normally used to - so our bodies are going to have a harder time getting rid of their excess heat.  So it is up to each of us to remain vigilant in the consumption of proper liquids, taking frequent rests, removing enough armor to vent heat properly etc.
 Good rules of thumb is if you are keeping up with your liquid intake and are not needing to visit the "facilities" at least once during the course of PiP, then you are NOT drinking enough.

 In Service to Bryn Gwlad there is Honor!

 Ld. Alfred Huddlestone, Chirurgeon & Journeyman Waterbearer
 Baronial Chirurgeon of Bryn Gwlad (for a little while yet)
