100+ heat...

[Iceberg Slim]

Damn MPH, glad you turned out ok, that could have gone sideways real quick, sounds like you were having a heat stroke......

[lightsout]

Feels better so far. A lot more cloud coverage and a nice breeze in my area. Of course, we're nowhere near the hot point. Supposed to be 100 with a 105 heat index here today, until the rain comes around just before dinner. I detail cars at a GM, and while I work indoors, the bay doors are opening all day, so it sort of negates it. And I'm outside for a good chunk of the day drying cars as well. The end of last week was pure hell.

Man, I should've passed out and I would've gotten Huddle sympathy!

BRB....

That poo is no joke. When I played football at Methodist University, we had that heat wave (2008). Me and 2 others passed out from heat stroke and we were rushed to the hospital. My first ambulance ride. I just wish I was conscious during it. I don't remember it at all. :(

I hate you :(

I was honestly legitimately scared....

! Is it bad too that I also didn't want to pass out because I JUST paid off my dr bills from 2 summers ago and I really didn't want anymore!?

They let you get to the point of heat stroke before anything was done? There are many, many signs of heat injury before you get that far. Very irresponsible training staff.

You could have just gotten a bag of saline and been back on the field if they caught it early.

Ya know that stuff they say on the news about "Don't go out unless you have to"? They mean it. If you don't have to do it, don't.

I absolutely detest seeing people out "jogging" with a stroller. If you're so obsessed with having people see you exercising, at least wait until somebody can watch the kid. I see people do it every day without regard to the fact that strapping a baby into stroller in extreme heat or cold is child abuse.

It's been over 100 for a while now here in KC and my 13-month old son cries at the door every day to go outside. We don't stay out for long (20 minutes maybe) and we keep him hydrated, so I'm not really seeing how a jog qualifies as child abuse. If you're going 10 miles, well sure, but a short jaunt through the neighborhood isn't a big deal in my book.

Adn what does running outside have to do with being "obsessed with having people see you exercise"? I run outsdie because I like the heat and because the changing scenery keeps me motivated, not because I'm an exercise exhibitionist.

Mine was just a short 3 mile jaunt around the neighborhood that usually takes me 30-35 min...I started going downhill in 15 mintues

Anybody that played HS football in the 70's and 80's knows how dang brutal it could be at that point in time.Played in 78, 79,80 at Freedom HS and I remember practicing mid afternoon in August with highs in the 90's.Full pads and contact. At that time the beleif was not to consume to much water so they gave you ice chips once during a 2 hour practice. People would fall out every practice. At the end to compound it they gave you a salt pill of all things. That made me vomit so I would pretend to take it and just spit it out.It is absolutely amazing more kids didn't die during that time.

Went for a run on Friday and Sunday around 7:00 AM.

At that point it was only about 85, but the humidity was killer.

Was kinda tingly but completed my normal course.

When I got back, I guess I was scary enough looking on Sunday to have my wife banish me to the basement (super cold down there) and was told to not come back up until i had finished off as much water as i could drink.

Those runs were a bad idea.

Very glad you lived MPF. Brain melt is always bad.

Played 18 on Sat from 10:30-3:30. Wasnt THAT bad, I did start feeling fatigued around #14/15, though.

Then again I was playing with 4 other people, 1 that got absolutely wasted Fri night and he only made it through 3 holes. :lol:

The training staff was dumb. The first guy passed out at the end of the first half of conditioning that day. He was totally unresponsive. After that point, the entire training staff was busy filling water bottles. However, after a 5 minute break, we started longer sprints for longer time. We were told before we started that if we needed to sit, to go in the shade and grab some water. I took that up after I started seeing yellow dots (happened once in high school, and knew what to do to stop it). The training staff REFUSED to give me a rag drenched in cold water so I could hit all of my major arteries to cool my core temperature. I end up seizing and passing out. -_-

sounds like a lawsuit to me
