Managed a departure time of 11:24pm Friday night at 84°F--index at 94°F and completed 100 miles back in front of my house just seconds before my 6hr time limit. Showered, kit change, bite to eat, chill for 2.5 hours and back out at 7:55am finishing with 127.91 miles as I hit the 10hr total time from start limit. SLOW going as the late morning temp was already approaching 90°F.

SW FL in the Boca Grande area and got that same heat over here. Prefer getting out around midnight.
