Thirsty?: Are you feeling thirsty? Any reason to be concerned about dehydration other than heat? If you are getting dehydrated then I would expect you would have thirst. Drinking adequate water is a good first step, but add a salty snack like a small bowl of pretzels to be sure to hold on to more of the water you drank.
