Congratulations! Lucky that they didn't ding you for 'abandoned equipment' by tossing your water bottle. What works for me is to put some water into a couple of gel flasks and put them in my bike jersey pockets. I get dehydrated easily, so I'll probably show up to my first 10k race with a 6 bottle fuel belt
