Yes, there was heat and humidity. BUT if I can handle it, anybody on earth can. I just don't like the feeling of wet skin, it feels dirty to me. I almost let the humidity scare me away, but I'm glad I didn't.

There are lots of other things to think about, and kids on the side of the road to hose you down, and water to drink, so the humidity is just kind of there. It's best not to go into air conditioned places, your body forgets that it has adapted to outside conditions far too quickly.

Staying hydrated is a challenge, though. I had a hard time drinking enough.
