Depending on the temperature, you might sweat quite a bit, as you apparently did. The next time you may wish to consider a drink with electrolytes to replace potassium. It doesn’t have to be a fancy or expensive brand, as long as it has the approximately correct amounts. You could even go the opposite route of sports drink by using a generic version of Pedialyte - inexpensive and effective.
