I had a very long and active day, and kept my fluids up. I can answer "I think so." which I guess really means, "Probably not."

I had a series of inexplicable migraines when I was 15. A doctor asked what I was doing before they started.

"Surfing."

"How long?"

"Most of the day. Around 5-6 hours."

"And did you drink any water?"

"Eh, nope."

"You're dehydrating yourself but probably aren't realising it because you're in water."

I started coming in every couple hours to drink a litre. Problem solved. Felt like an idiot.

Not an idiot - you had an issue, you asked someone with better knowledge/training/experience, you listened and acted on their advice. Sounds pretty smart to me ๐Ÿ‘
