I had intended to get up at Blair o'clock to run while it was cooler, but I got home from 2010 meeting after 11 last night, and in any case it never got cooler overnight.
So, it was 34 when I set out, and 36 when I came back. Going up through Randells Reserve to Belair wasn't so bad because I got there before the sun did, but coming back down Gloucester Ave I could tell that I was definitely at the limits of my heat tolerance. I would cancel an orienteering event on a day when it was this hot already at 7am.
I came home, turned the sprinkler on and stood under it (hey, if it's held over your head it meets the definition of hand-held-hose) then ate a cheese & vegemite sandwich without the bread, sculled half a litre of powerade with extra salt, and went to work. Napping on the lounge room floor would be preferable though.
