I'm glad that litespeed got back ok, and it sounds like he did exactly the right thing for recovery
It's getting to the warm time of year here, and we have to look after our outside operators, particularly those working around boilers and furnaces. And, as retroG says, how you feel is maybe a very unreliable lagging indicator of how you are.
One ride not so long ago about 20 of us stopped at a turnaround point - and as soon as we stopped, trouble. Dry heaves, shivers (in 110 f heat), and confusion. The perceived cooling of wind-evaporated sweat can hide the effects of hyperthermia. A good warning thread
