Preparation matters, planning etc. I won’t get into specifics, but I had a pretty emotionally heavy and hectic week with work, moving, other crap, and the long drives that I rushed into the start of the GCT.

Now, given your extensive desert hiking experience, I would not have thought you’d succumb to hyponatremia.
