Gah! my commute today was HOT. Both ways, actually - I had an appointment this mornign so I headed out at 8:45 rather than my usual 7:20 and it was already hot. Then I rode from the appointment in to work, at noon, and was slightly broiled; and it was even hotter on the way home. I tried to take it easy and drink lots, even stopping to paddle my feet in the river, but I didn't do too well*. I was pretty woozy when I got home and had the edges of a sick headache. Bleh.

*Note to self: just because someone passes you does not mean you have to catch up. It is not necessarily a race even though there ARE two bikes on this road... especially at 34C...

A cool shower, 2 liters of water, some Vietnamese salad rolls and a cup of iced coffee later, I'm much better
