This! THIS!
I know one of the first things I'm going to instruct my FTAAs this year in one aspect of their job is making sure that I have my water bottle (or *A* water bottle) always within my reach and make sure I'm drinking from it regularly. I know that I tended to forget to stay hydrated during the course of an event as an FTAA and now as an FTA, I expect to have even more on my mind than in the past. With my first event this year being at 6880ft altitude (and my second still a mile above sea level), it is going to be even more important to stay hydrated, for me and the rest of the volunteers/teams (planning on speaking to that point in the driver's meeting too).
