Yeah I would've thought runners nipple was more of a concern for gents... unless of course they choose to wear moob support of some kind?
In terms of hydration... in terms of race day hydration, drink around a pint of water once you wake up to replace fluids lost during the night, then just sip drink throughout the day until 1 hour before your race, then stop. That normally serves me perfectly well until the end of a race up to half marathon distance - though of course things can change when the sun comes out to play!
Best indicator is the colour of your urine, if you're well hydrated it'll be clear, the darker it is the more dehydrated you are. Whilst it's important you don't dehydrate, complete hydration isn't essential, though I aim for it as I remember reading an article saying something along the lines of "being dehydrated by as little as 5% can lead to a 20% reduction in performance" which sounds quite a significant amount, but I'd rather not risk losing that much time! lol.
