Opening a can of worms

Hottest I've ever been racing was the 2001 US Class Nationals in Byron, IL. If I remember right it was like 105-107 without the heat index. And in IL in the summer the humidty can be bad and it was that weekend too. I was in my 30's then and it was brutal!! Best race ever tho!!

Good thread Dan, as a distance runner (including the 1985 Boston Marathon) I can definitely attest to the impacts of heat on performance. Heat exhaustion can have horrible effects on your body and will make you much more susceptible to it in the future. Hydration coupled with keeping your core temperature normal will dramatically improve your concentration and permit execution of your driving strategy. And you won?t be dragging during a long recovery period.

And this isn?t CDC/Dept of Health yada yada yada?.
