If you have access to running water, place the hose in your shoes and let the water run.
Good luck.

All great points Sarge. You are an inspiration to old and young alike. In 2001 at Byron, Illinois I survived 4 days of intense Midwest heat and humidity. It was the hottest I have ever been in my life. I have come up with a pretty good plan to battle heat stroke. When the forecast calls for 100 degree highs , just stay home in the AC. I pray for all competitors at Topeka this week.
