It was hovering around 100, and I was drinking water and electroyte mix as I could. After each session I got out of my riding suit as fast as I could. We were drapping wet towels over our heads and necks and standing in front of the fans as much as possible. After the 3 session, I thought, "I think I can manage one more," and after that, figured I could make it for the fifth and last session. > It was brutal, but most of us made it through the day.
