A WORD OF CAUTION!!! Beware of hyponatremia. This is a condition where too much fluid intake disrupts the bodies electolyte balance. A better hydration strategy might be sipping on sports drink throught the day for a few days leading up to the event. This serves three purposes:
1) Hydration
2) Carbo Loading
3) Electolyte Replacement
Drink only to the point where your urine is significant in volume and clear to very pale yellow. Don't be fooled here by what the color of the fluid in the bowl is. It's diluted by clear water.

Good luck and happy hydrating.
