Sounds like you were in heat exhaustion, and your breaks in the shade were what saved you. You might have to make some rules about what weather you will and won't do centuries in. This really isn't something you want to screw with.
^^^ What he said. All of it. Nausea is a symptom. Headache and flushed skin, drenching sweat, clammy skin with little sweat, all bad news.
This is serious stuff. And has nothing to do with "toughness".
One day I had to make the "toughest" employee I ever had go sit in the truck with the AC on, while the rest of us kept working. Ecuadorian, but for whatever reason, lack of salt, dehydration maybe, that day he got heat exhaustion. Not heat stroke, good pulse etc. But flushed skin and nausea. He hated sitting in the truck while we worked. I had to send him back twice.
