Heat Stroke anyone??

It was hot....craaazy hot today. Was in an air conditioned clinic all day and wasn't aware of the humidity until I left at 3:30 with the intention of getting an early ride in at the local trails (Collins Bay). I was silly in wearing my fox baggy shorts and a pocketless jersey which meant only one bottle which i mixed with an hour dose of cafe latte perpetuum and some Heeeeeed (yummy).

The heat was sapping the legs of enerygy, luckily I had the MP3 blaring some Korn and disturbed to keep the chemicals flowing to allow time for the perpetuum to kick in. Super hot, great new trail being developed which challenges the wits to do a double drop....not quite what I want to do as I don't have the disposable income for a new wheel set or time to spare for awaiting a broken frame...but beauty flow. Still a little foggy..fired in some recoverite and am nursing a beer...perfect combo...will finish the BBQ, get some food and add stats from today's ride later..

Back. Had some dinner and jumped on the trampoline with my oldest daughter for about 45 minutes...drenched in sweat...yet again :) Getting good at forward flips but not quite sticking the landing..also practicing some 520's...respect to the snowboarders.

Stats..let see..:

1 hr 16 min
159 avg 184 bpm max...
In zone 26 min; above 50 min
1034 Kcal
21.9 kilometers...10 of that road to get to/from trails
avg spd 17.1 with 42.9 max

Plan...bring out the Mt. bike for a tour with Fil tomorrow...and will be bringing two or THREE water bottles depending on heat....that was super hot...a wake up call.
