Hot?? That is pretty much what it is like here most of the time!
I remember training for the DL half here last June/July/August and it was rough. I found out exactly what Jeff mentioned before, I tend to do my long miles EARLY in the am and be done before the sun is up too high in the sky.
Hydrate well, which is most of the time in the summer anyway. Put on the sunscreen ( or I look like a lobster! ) LIP BALM is a must. Carry my CamelBak waist pack. I use what Robert uses in really hot weather which is a bandana that has a shamy inside and holds moisture or you can put icecubes in it. Place it around your neck and helps to keep you feeling cooler. I will jump in the pool when I am done with long miles or do an ice bath. I also use sports beans and G2 to help myself out when needed.
Thanks for the mixer guys!!
