There is a fine line between clever and stupid

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

and I think I crossed it today. I'd been wanting to get over to Mt Diablo to do some repeats. It was supposed to be hot today, but I figured that I'd leave early and a little heat training wouldn't be a bad thing. The first two times up were just fine, but the last trip up was a little extreme: my Polar recorded a max of 109 degrees. I finished but was pretty slow. When I got to the top I had to sit in the shade and pant like a dog for about 10 minutes. Even descending was miserable.
