Did you do a Rehydration video? We are starting to do 2 hour weigh in for esport cycling and I’m trying to develop a best practice method for weighing the least before a bike race. A 1-2 hour bike race is very demanding hydration wise so rehydrating is going to be crucial. Granted you also drink during the race so the 2 hour window can be stretched just a bit… wondering your thoughts on fast rehydration and if it’s practical for cycling.
