I was like Steve, I didn't drink as much as I should during the hike. Over the last few years, I have taken my break time to make up for what I missed walking up the trail. I do this with an electrolyte replacement drink to kill two birds with one stone. I check my Platypus figure what I should have drank and made it up with the electrolyte replacement.
This mean I don't make a mad dash to any peak to set land speed records. Hmmm...that right, slow down, if you believe this is an issue. One of AMS causes is rapid ascent. If you can do 2.5 MPH up hill, drop your speed to 2 MPH.
