Well it really makes the race much harder like that. We had a 50 mile road race over difficult terrain under those conditions a few weeks ago, and only 20/75 riders finished. My old broken hip was cramping and after 25 miles, I realized there was just no way I was going to hang on. It wasn't like I even blew up, I just let go of the driftwood. The forecast for Saturday is similar for the District 20 championship road race, 48 miles over flatish ground. I'm actually hoping that the heat will increase the difficulty level because the race won't be that selective due to the course. I just carry a lot of water, and drink up. As far as training goes I do that in the morning and late afternoon/evening to beat the heat. Don't drink too much though, a local bike cop trainee just died from over hydration/not enough sodium in his system on Tuesday.
