Double Hockley Provincial Park Loop starting with the Tom East Side Trail and doing the hillier main Bruce Trail the other 3 times. The forest is summer lush and green; I met about a dozen groups of hikers, most of them more than once.
The temperature was 19C when I started and I felt awesome. I ran up some hills. I'd almost forgotten how great it is to not feel like a sack of potatoes when I run.
But the temperature and humidity climbed and by the time I hit the 3-hr mark, I did not feel awesome anymore. In fact, I felt downright crappy - sluggish at best and lightheaded with a hint of stomach distress at worst. In hindsight, I didn't drink all the water I brought. I ate well and had some salt but in this weather, I should have drained my water. I hope that's all it was.
