Kim 1000 miler and Water Retention

Kim rode with John Loos – a 1000 miler specialist – from Parys to Blouburg in August over 9 days. This is an amazing and extreme achievement but as happens in the long-distance community, there is always a process of learning and understanding so many aspects of such events. I have asked Kim if I could share her notes on Water Retention as I feel this is a very relevant topic for any long-distance woman athlete. Many other athletes have also had these experiences and if not handled correctly, can lead to long term health problems. So Kims notes on this topic.
