Honestly speaking, if you've been sweating very heavily,
drinking plain water can actually make things worse by diluting the
remaining electrolytes in your body.
Which was probably why I friggin' came down with heat cramps in
the dead of the night even though I already drank quite a lot
beforehand.
In such cases, you need isotonic drinks.
My mental faculties all gone by the time I reached.
And the worst thing I could do when I got back...
Bathe in the friggin ice-cold midnight Tekong water!
I shivered like mad and it gave me a damn splitting headache and
cramps here and there.
And then I measured my temperature knowing something is really
wrong by now. 40 degs.
My reaction was: Oh.
