LOL bro you got to carry some water or something with you just to get your singlet wet or something. That has got to stink something fierce.:) And those last ones into a strong headwind didnt even phase you. Very nice job.

Yeah, other than your HR going up a bit you didn't seem phased much. And irrigation water, eeks!

Don't listen to the naysayers, irrigation water builds "character!"
