In just the past 4 weeks there have been 6 hospitalized in my area(state) do to heat stroke and none for water intoxication. I can count on 1 hand where I've heard/read about water intoxication in the last 10 years. I think your facts are backwards...

my apologies for being off topic but i want to back up my assertion that it is over-hydration and not dehydration that is more likely to harm and even kill athletes.. people are getting heat stroke for sure but because of over exertion in the heat and not likely due to dehydration

relik, at 1 to 1.5 liters of water for every 2.5# loss in weight, you are not going to experience hyponatremia, especially if electrolytes and sodium are not restrcited. Lyle's recommendations were not that one drink all that fluid during or immediately after the exercise either, but rather gradually throughout the rest of the day proceding the workout. The subjects in the studies you provided are drinking WAY more than that recommended by Lyle. In fact, Lyle's objective is to "replace" fluids and electrolytes, while the marathon runners are drinking so much they are actually gaining weight during their event.
