Phew! Very hot. Headed out with Julie and Mark, and then two miles in Julie’s knee still was feeling a little stiff so she turned around early so she could take it slower on the way back. Mark and I kept trucking along another half mile to the turn around and then headed back. Even with a water stop we made some really good time, but I felt absolutely drenched afterwards, to put it mildly. Still, I’m happy with the end results, even if the last mile speeding up happened in part because I slowed down to scoot over as a bicycle passed us, and when I started speeding up to catch Mark, he thought I was in a “must speed up wildly at the end” maneuver and started speeding up. Meanwhile, I was still trying to just catch him. Oops.

I think the humidity melted our brains.
