Stay hydrated – it will be hot on Thursday and Friday

Thursday’s weather forecast indicates temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius (over 86 degrees Fahrenheit). Therefore, we urge all participants to prepare properly for the heat. Eat a bit more than usual, drink plenty of water, and consider supplementing with electrolyte solutions.

Preparing properly for sports performance in extreme heat is crucial for both safety and success. High temperatures put extra strain on the body, increasing the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.

To stay safe, athletes should start hydrating well in advance, not just during the activity. Applying sunscreen and seeking shade whenever possible can prevent sunburn, which further stresses the body.

Listening to your body and recognizing early signs of heat-related illness is key.
