I wasn't aggressive on either ride and the wheel is 36 ct spokes. Can temperature fluctuation cause this?
A reputable shop repaired and trued the first throw.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
You may want to remove the tire and rim tape. Check to see that the wheel isn't split down the middle. I've had more than one double wall rim break between each spoke hole on the tire side. It didn't manifest as a broken rim but it wouldn't hold true.
