If I bike for 45 minutes in 33°C weather (that is 40 with the Humidex, or 104°F), then I can get alllll the way from our place to theweaselking's parents' place.

But stunningly refreshed!

(Of course, now I'm sitting down with Gatorade and coffee, trying to figure out if my headache is dehydration or caffeine deprivation, because I can *never* tell the difference.)

And surprisingly lucky not to have caught a sun stroke. :P

I figured that if I started feeling at all out of it I could lock up the bike someplace and take the bus/phone, and took advantage of work's absolutely-free-all-you-can-drink bottled water before heading out. (I'm weirdly well-hydrated during the work week, now that I think on't...)

I *do* realize it wasn't particularly smart[1], but I don't think I was *that* lucky.

Yeah, and sun stroke doesn't necessarily hit while you are exercising. I learned that at last year's race weekend. Biking for some 2.5h beside the boyfriend in sweltering heat ( have no clue how HE survived), on a black bike, black helmet, black shirt and black gloves and no sunscreen. By the time he was done and we made our way to a restaurant by body decided to just go bye bye all of a sudden.
