Pre race hydration

My race season starts in earnest this weekend at what looks like is going to be a cold & rainy Big Cow winter duathlon in Milton Keynes. I’m always conscious to make sure I’m pretty well hydrated before races following a hellish 10k a couple of summers ago. So…
1) Should I be drinking anything more than (or with) just council pop – squash, electrolyte drink, water with salt/sugar in?
2) Should I be taking on more fluid than I usually do? I''ve heard drinking too much can start to "wash" electrolytes out of your body.

If I am going to up the liquid I will make sure that get all the salts I need from other sources to balance the water out.
If you up it 4 days before then the body will balance it out its self. I would have some saly in bag if it was hot but seems this weekend is gonna be UNSETTLED!
Good luck.
