This observation motivated by the recent discussion on hydration.

Just under a year ago I started my x/c career in Arizona, flying at
Estrella and Turf. Needless to say these are not cool places in the
summer. When the weather turned hot (which was in mid-April last
year) I followed the conventional wisdom of "you can't drink too much
water". In June and July I was drinking a gallon of water while
rigging and another quart during lunch. While flying I would knock
off a 100-ounce Camelbak and most of a second one.

But I experienced a consistent problem: in the latter part of my
flights, I would get dizzy, disoriented, and nauseous. At least one
flight was aborted prematurely because I just didn't feel fit to walk
or talk, much less fly.

I've found the same thing to be true for my flying in Nevada last
summer. Too much water was too much of a good thing.

Hopefully it's not just a problem with 304 owners. :-)
