In Texas an experienced female athlete was competing in a triathlon when she became dehydrated during the run. During the first mile she had diarrhea and quad cramps. By mile six she had stopped sweating and a severe headache came upon her. She eventually finished the race but became delirious. When she tried to rehydrate she began vomiting and could not take in any fluids. She was rushed to the hospital for an IV and additional treatment. While in the hospital she experienced wide spread muscle breakdown, electrolyte imbalance, and her lungs filled with fluid. She ended up being placed on life support with a 50% chance of living. Thankfully she recovered, but dehydration is clearly something to be taken very seriously.

In order to fight intelligently, we need to understand the relationship of  risk and reward . Everything that we do in a fight has an associated risk and a potential reward. If we don’t understand how to calculate risk and reward, we will lose most of our fights. But if we chose tactics based on a good understanding of the risk reward matrix, we will usually win.
