Just too much water

Earlier this week, a Sacramento radio station held a "Hold your wee for a Wii" contest. Many of the contestants got sick and one woman died from water intoxication. Check out the story..

I'm well aware of water intoxication. Last year during my Avenue Half, I got noxious and my stomach was hurting badly. I assumed I didn't drink enough water but that wasn't the case. I drank too much before the start of the race! Three-16 ounce bottles in a half hour period. The electrolytes in my body were off balance. I did finish the race with a PR but not before stopping at a couple water stops to sip gatorade and try to force myself to throw up. Learned that lesson.
