I know everyone gets tired of hearing it but we cannot stress enough how important it is to stay hydrated on these 100+ degree days! Remember that when we pass bottled water around to you while standing the flag line, PLEASE accept and drink.
Once you realize that your thirsty,it's already too late.At that point it's very difficult to impossible to catch up on hydrating out in the heat.If one of us goes down because we didn't do our part to stay hydrated, we then become the center of attention.

We always want to keep our focus on the mission and not on us.
