Today’s session was intentionally kept short to test Skinsuit + clay terrain with and without a pre-hike electrolyte preload. The difference appeared immediately on the first steep climb: without the preload, stabilizers worked harder, effort felt higher, and wet clay increased neuromuscular demand. After sipping electrolytes during the hike, effort smoothed out and coordination improved — confirming that on wet clay + early steep ramps, electrolytes support efficiency, stability, and traction control, not just hydration. This was a neuromuscular conditioning day rather than an endurance day, and the controlled duration kept the stimulus high without unnecessary fatigue accumulation.
