Last night at volleyball I made a spectacular diving dig and was rewarded with a vicious cramp in my calf. I was a bit surprised by this because I was hydrating between games. Usually I bring water for hydration but last night I had a bottle of Powerade with ION4 the Advanced Electrolyte System. In my opinion, this fact made the cramp even more unlikely. But I’m not a doctor just a simple Beach Bum making my way through life.
I regained my feet and stretched my calf. I was lucky, the cramp went away very quickly so I was able to resume playing. My team ended up around .500 for the night. It was wierd because we were able to beat one team but not the other one. And the team we could beat usually beat the team we couldn’t beat. Go figure.
Question to everyone: Does anyone really like the taste of sports drinks? Just asking.

They taste okay but I’m not a big fan. I prefer plain old H2O. Wonder if sports drinks isn’t just sugared water??
According to the label they have different electrolytes.
I only like the original Gatorade. Lemon/lime. Always have.
