The following confirm my expectations (as a guy who has done a lot of sweating).

Sweat normally contains water, and very small amounts of salt, urea, sugar and ammonia.

The major route for sodium loss is sweat. Because potassium is held inside the cells, it is not lost at high rates provided there is adequate sodium in the body.

Normal (for cyclists) sweat rates can range from 0.75 to 2 Liters/hour, depending on conditions such as temperature, humidity, pace, clothing, and the degree of heat acclimation the rider has. A rate of one Liter/hour is not uncommon for an acclimated cyclist. At that rate, typical electrolyte loss rates by sweat are 1,300 mg/hr for sodium, and 230 mg/hr for potassium.
