* '''Stay wet'''. Being wet makes a huge difference at Badwater. I wore a white shirt over a compression top and soaked the shirt in cold water, which kept me much cooler.
* '''Modified hat'''. I modified a Halo [[Running Hats|Running Hat]] so that it covered my neck and face, exposing just my eyes. I was deeply grateful for this on many occasions.
* '''Ketogenic Low carb diet'''. I've been experimenting with a [[Ketogenic Diet|ketogenic diet]], and while pacing Badwater I ate peanuts, sunflower seeds, one Reece cup, and a double cheeseburger (no bun). I found this worked remarkably well and I had no issues with digestion or energy levels.
* '''[[DIY Electrolyte Drink]]'''. I found that adding salt to my drink kept my well hydrated and provided the salt I needed.
