The first time, I really just concentrated on getting the rides done before it got too hot. I'd love to slow down and smell the roses so to speak.
I hear ya. In 2010 and 2011 it was so scorching hot during the day that I got up really early (which is otherwise against my religion) and blasted straight to the next overnight town. Last year, I had the right amount of fitness and tolerance to the heat that I was able to slow down and enjoy it a little more.
