I’m going out for W2 R2 later. It’ll still be quite hot. Any tips for running in the sun and cooling down afterwards?

Can you find somewhere shady to run up and down?

I would definitely recommend next time trying to wake up a little earlier so you avoid the significant heat. Someone gave me the advice about bringing water with you and an ice cold cloth, so you can dab it on your wrist and neck when it gets too hot, and wearing the minimum that you can! Just take it slow and steady, and try and find somewhere slightly more shady :)
