Regarding shirts, many elite male racers tend to stay away from them. When they get wet and muddy, shirts become heavy and burdensome. They catch on barbed wire and can get in the way during some climbing obstacles, restricting the range of motion on shoulders and impeding free movement. Most of the top pros opt to go shirtless, although a few will sometimes wear compression tops. Their reasons vary from trying to stay warm to using the shirt to avoid cuts and scrapes while rolling over the walls to simply wanting to show off their sponsors.
Sometimes athletes, particularly bodybuilders and fitness competitors, cut out water and water-retaining foods in order to lose weight. As obstacle athletes, this is not a good idea, based on the effects of dehydration. In extreme temperatures—particularly hot, humid weather—staying hydrated is especially critical. If you are training or racing during the summer months or in a hot and humid area, you will need 4 to 8 ounces (120-240 ml) of water every 15 to 30 minutes. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to hydrate, because thirst is a preliminary symptom of dehydration, which you will especially want to avoid in hot, humid weather.
