an atheletes' physiological crash commonly called 'bonking' is distinct from heat induced illnesses.
it is not uncommon to suffer both in concert, and each can exacerbate the other.
their treatments are similar.
you can definetly suffer from a energy crash and heat exaustion OR hypothermia at the same time , which is a whole different ball of wax, and with equally deadly potential.
Having suffered all of these maladies, i'll take a plain old case of the bonks anyday.
puking in the bushes, then riding home at 5 miles per hour is still pretty tough, but heat exhaustion/hypothermia are way more debilitating.
