-- Posted by Karaden at 4:38 am on Aug. 20, 2008 ...then you are dehydrated and need to drink more water." That's what our trainer said to us yesterday on the field. Useless, being as I already knew that but I can't seem to guzzle down enough water to keep either her or my coach happy. Just thought that I would share this morning though...   -- Posted by mankey52 at 4:39 am on Aug. 20, 2008 and if it looks like cloudy apple juice... you REALLY need water! -- Posted by Taylor636Baker at 4:39 am on Aug. 20, 2008 But if it's deep yellow and has a strong smell you need to pee more often or you're gonna get kidney stones -- Posted by Poker Shark at 4:39 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Is it supposed to be clear? -- Posted by Karaden at 4:40 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from Taylor636Baker at 8:39 am on Aug. 20, 2008 But if it's deep yellow and has a strong smell you need to pee more often or you're gonna get kidney stones With the way I am sweating, I am amazed that I can go to the bathroom more than three times a day. I am downing water bottles every chance I get though. -- Posted by Karaden at 4:41 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from Poker Shark at 8:39 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Is it supposed to be clear? That is what our coaches told us. I almost got there but then I fell asleep and my body used all my hydration to fix itself from the hell that preseason is putting it through... -- Posted by Tigerhawk at 4:46 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Because pee is waste mixed with water, if there is less water, therell be a higher concentration of waste in the pee. That is why the more dehydrated you are, the yellower it is...? -- Posted by Karaden at 4:52 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from Tigerhawk at 8:46 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Because pee is waste mixed with water, if there is less water, therell be a higher concentration of waste in the pee. That is why the more dehydrated you are, the yellower it is...? Yeah I knew that. I was just complaining because I drink so much water that it should be coming out of my nose and I still can't achieve the clearness my coaches want. -- Posted by Jon1138 at 5:04 am on Aug. 20, 2008 It's supposed to look like apple juice. -- Posted by ezacxveronica22 at 5:33 am on Aug. 20, 2008 why are your coaches checking out you pee?? thats a little odd dont you think or is this for a drug test or somthing?? -- Posted by Wakeupcall at 5:40 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Why is your coach inspecting your pee? You want to be careful with all that water - there is such a thing as water poisoning! -- Posted by Karaden at 5:55 pm on Aug. 20, 2008 My coaches aren't checking my actual urine. They are telling me to check it so that I can tell if I am dehydrated or not. And trust me, I won't be getting water poisoning any time soon.
