Could be worse–you could be jogging and not have that lovely breeze.
I’ll be cycling and running on Saturday. Maybe swimming too, if I have time. I’m hoping to do a long run of 2 hrs. I probably won’t run at midday. I’ll also keep the effort relaxed. Same with the bike ride.
I bought a Klean Kanteen insulated stainless steel bottle last week. It works well. Much better than the plastic Chill Jacket insulated bottle. I brought both bottles on a ride last weekend. After 90 min., the water in the Chill Jacket was very warm and nasty. I finished that bottle first. Then I refilled the Chill Jacket with the water from the Klean Kanteen. That water was still as cold as when I first filled the bottle. I’ll bring both bottles from now on. The Chill Jacket is easier to drink from and remove from the aerobar bottle cage. Once that bottle is empty, I’ll refill it with cold water from the Klean Kanteen.
I can’t drink directly from the Klean Kanteen without stopping so I’ll use it only as backup water storage. Klean Kanteen also sells a bottle with a sport cap but I don’t think it’s insulated.
I find that dumping cold water on my head helps a lot in hot weather. Pouring water on my arms helps too. That provides a large surface area for evaporation and cooling.
