Waited until later in the day because:

1. I wanted it to be the hottest part of the day to see how much I need to work on my heat training. It was 82 degrees.
2. Wanted to work on erasing my cyclist’s tan!!

Went back to the lake for the first time in 3 weeks (hadn’t been back since we moved) in order to start getting some hills back into the rotation. Completely forgot my allergy meds this morning so it was super fun wheezing up and down the hills in the first half of this route (I basically did our usual route backwards.) But it still worked bc that’s how I feel trying to breathe through high humidity anyway.

1. I am SUPER pleased with how well I maintained my cadence despite the hills and heat.
2. Per J’s orders, I’m not supposed to think about my speed, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw what it had come out to at the end of the run. I’ve historically been SO SLOW when it’s hot/humid!

Conclusions:
Current heat tolerance baseline could be worse, but I have a ways to go. Next time it’s this hot, I need to bring water even if it’s going to be “just” an hour long run.
