My last check on the weather prior to heading outside today in the office park said that it was 86′F outside. I didn’t really pay close attention to the heat index.
Big mistake.
Heat index ~ 100′F. 5.69 miles in 48:20. 8’30″ average. First mile first okay, second mile was a little warm, but the office park winds were decent. I lost the wind after going into the neighborhood at mile 2, and it never came back.
By mile 4, I was feeling a little bit light-headed. Tendonitis was a little irritated afterwards, but feels okay now.
