Too much water

[ColinJ]

Also known as Hyponatremia. I always add a pinch of salt to my drinks on long summer rides to replace the salt lost in sweat. I'd probably drink 6-7 litres on a hot 200 km audax, but I must sweat about 10 litres because I come back 2 or 3 kg lighter. That's a lot of lost salt.

My uncle Albert died from too much water.
