Ray Zahab takes a sweat test at the GSSI

Ultramarathoner, Ray Zahab, undergoes a strenuous sweat test with the GSSI at the Canadian Sport Centre Pacific in Victoria, BC. During the test, Ray's hydration status was measured, as well as his fluid consumption, to determine how well he replenished the fluid lost during his runs. A special patch was applied to his forearm to capture the sweat and was analyzed on-site to determine the sweat's sodium concentration. The results of the test provided Zahab with recommendations on how to improve his hydration habits during his journey which in turn will help him perform at optimal levels.
