The trouble is With climbing. Is the difference between getting to the top, and being a bit annoyed at having a full bidon left. Which you neednt of carried. Or popping half way after finishing all Your water is fecking tiny. a few C warmer, tiny bit better hydrated in advance, pushing a couple BPM more.......etc. etc.
I've done exactly this on a 1500m Climb recently. Finished With a full bottle and a bit one day. Popped less than 2 weeks later, ran out of water, and added 10 mins, when it was 8C warmer.
In other News.
I've ordered some of that Osmosis stuff on clearance.
It's not saying carry fluids during a hill climb it's saying being dehydrated beforehand negatively impacts performance. I used to race TTs dehydrated on purpose, thinking the extra couple of kilos might buy me a second or two but they probably hindered me. Luckily I never have to race one again.
