I have squeezed many a lemming in my studies. They don't make for a very good sportsdrink. Either very squeeky with vicious (or viscous?) teeth, or when dead very smelly.

I told BF about my question about water vs sports drinks. He suggests I try something called Barely Water. Apparently it is what the cricketers and tennins players and footballers used before the invention of isotonic sports drinks. I'm a bit skeptical about a fruit squash made with barley, but he says it's good. I'll give it a try next week. Problem will be how to find it in CA next year if it works.

Otherwise I will just stick to the plan of drinking more water and juice and eating healthy snacks often. Don't want to overdo the crisps with all the fat, but pretzels may be better.
