Your RC are trained to identify any sign of heat exahuation and administer basic first aid. But you have to know when to say when if it gets too much for you. Drink lots of water and gatorade. Even though you get a break after every two excercise, you will have an opportunity to rehydrate after every excercise or every 20-30 minutes. Since you will be at idle and slow speeds most of the time, a mesh jacket isn't going to help. Drench your shrirt with water or go by a cool vest from Cycle Gear.
You're more than welcome to bring a big ice chest full of water and gatorade and make a fortune selling it too. Seriously though, I've had students pitch in and they all contribute to and bring ice, gatorade, bottled water for their own consumption. Of course, the course just provided normal tap water iced down, but the cold water is nice to drench your cool vest.
You may want to wear a bandana on around your forehead so your sweat doesn't start dripping down you face distracting your ride.
The hottest temperture I've taught was like 112 degrees, but that was dry heat. Still a scorcher.
Wear White Clothing! Avoid wearing Black! And I hope you don't have a black helmet. Despite the weather conditions, stay focused, listen to your RC and you will still have fun and hopefully lead to successful completion.
this sucks so bad.
