"It's not uncommon, especially among endurance
athletes.  For example, water intoxication was
reported in 18% of marathon runners and in 29% of
the finishers in a Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon in
studies published around 2000 in the _Annals_of_
_Internal_Medicine_ and in _Medicine_&_Science_in_
_Sports_&_Exercise_ respectively (not exactly
junk science rags)."

Well, I can attest to this doing lots of cycling and running. I
did 80 miles yesterday through the hills on my road bike.
Gobbled at turkey's, mooed at cows, winked at the gals, curse at
by motorist. That's why we crazy bikers/runners etc drink sport
drinks with simple sugars and salt.

I need about 20-30oz per 20 miles in 90F high RH, I only need
1/2 that when it's 60F and low RH. Powerbars, protein drinks
etc. Humm yum:)  

But those folks are not going to have any better results
drinking tap water vs RO, they need a lot more salt, the
NaCl/KCL type mostly, not the KH/GH type which concerns us.
 
And few folks are riding 80 miles nor running marathons nor
doing trialthalon here, that is a fraction of precent and these
folks know what they need to eat to perform well already. 

I can add the salt from a bottle of gatorade, or the tap, or
distilled + gatorade.

What matters is getting enough salt if you have a high use for
it, and the other flip side is getting rid of the excess salt if
you eat foods high in salt.

Then the distilled water would help........
