NAKED Coconut Water

Well it is the brand that I tried.

So yesterday, I did the loop bike/run again.  I got a little alter start but the 7oclock hour on a Sunday seemed OK.  Although I will shoot for the 6 oclock hour going forward.
This time I was trying real hard to remember the hydration.  As mentioned I noticed the food intake was a bit low for me as well.  Didnt have much around the house to address that or have any desire for almost anything.  So I did what needed to be done - washed workout clothes, packed for ATL, watched the ENGLAND game (although I kinda wished I hadnt now), and headed for the airport to pick up my rental car.  That's when I thought of some inspiration for food....  the dried mangoes they sell at some crazy overvalued price at EarthFare...  they sounded tempting...  So I promised myself I would swing in there, get a sandwich and some mangoes on my way back from the airport.
PHEW - let me tell you that airport was crowded and pretty darned hot as well...  On Sundays you need to go to the airport to get a rental car, park in the car pack, take the shuttle to the terminal and then another shuttle to the rental counter...  not at all convenient but better than putting tonnes of miles on my own car.
At that point I was ready for some food.
APPLES - you know they are always right there in the produce section.  And I have found they are one of my favourite foods for hydration and feeling full.  So I decided I will get a few of those for my road trip.  Um - havent touched them yet but looking forward to eating them tomorrow...  I turn around, headed for those mangoes and run into a friend that works there.  I was taken aback... Wasnt planning on seeing anyone - you know what that usually means for attire, etc. 
Anyways he was the one that suggested the coconut water.  Claimed it was a cure-all for what ailed me.  I had seen coconut water when I was in the Bahamas - Bahamas people, not Bermuda look up the difference on a map - but opted not to drink it then.  The whole fruit from a street vendor thing makes me a bit squeemish.  So I figured what the heck yesterday...  It was in a bottle of sorts...  Gotta be worth a try.  And you know what!?!?  it sure was.  Look at the label - look at the potasium level - look at the low level of sugar and calories....  The taste was indifferent.  But the effect was grand.
I am adding it to my traithlon transition station for sure!!!  OH and I guess I better start thinking about that more seriously too...  hmmmm
