[Steppes] Steppes Fighter Practice 08-13-2006

[Mike]

Heilsa,

Breeze grew with Afternoon
Turning to early evening
Although from South
Angle from East
With less heat riding
Upon the Wind
Even cooling at times
Previous times
Of Summer, the Queen
Allowed for it to refresh
Those who were out and about
Medium to Small Clouds
Drifting against canvas of Blue
Yet for it all -
Reading of Mercury reached
Above 100 - to 103F
Still 2 below record from
51 years ago, in 1955.

Please start drinking extra water several days prior to the day of practice.
This is also true of going to an event, be it SCA related or not.
You will have a better time and enjoy yourself more
if you are hydrate before you start your activity.
Energy drinks may give you a lift, but will not carry you as far,
  when compared to water and gatorade.

recommend 2 gallons of fluids and snacks to replenish your
energy levels if you are in armor and fighting.
