Subject: Preventing heat stroke
Heat stroke is definitely a problem for marathon training, especially if you get dehydrated.
I read an article about an Australian ultramarathon winner named Wayne Gregory who had some sort of wearable wrist water bottle. He froze it -- and so besides giving him an extra water source, it lowered his body temperature (the wrists are an ideal heat transfer point.) By keeping his core temp down, he was able to keep going and win the 100 mile race.
I don't know where he got this gadget, but the lesson here is that you can lower your core temp by putting ice (or running cold water) over your wrists if you feel like you're starting to overheat.
