Adjusting to Heat 🥵
Here I am, adjusting to heat again. It’s come too soon, as usual.
Today I wore my cool rag; but I wish I had started earlier than 7:30 am. By that time, it was already nealy 80 degrees! The wind is from the South today; and that seems to be a tricky wind direction. Sometimes it was a headwind; sometimes it was a sidewind. Now and then I had it as a tailwind; but not as much as I would have liked!
However, I’m glad that ajusting to heat doesn’t meant acclimating myself the the heat and aridity of desert surroundings. That could be a major problem!
I'll Skip the Desert 🌵
So I’ll skip the desert, thank you very much. By the way, I should skip the dessert, too, luscious though it looks.
Cycling in desert surroundings would require a lot of training and acclimatization. And plenty of water! Also, take along a compass, as a precaution.
I’ve recently watched videos about people at various national parks who went on hikes in Summer; ignoring warnings not to go out during the heat of the day; and with one 20-oz bottle of water. These outings only too often ended in tragedy.
I guess my body will adapt to the heat; but meanwhile it seems awfully hot all of a sudden!
