dubai_phil Posted 22 July, 2009 Share Posted 22 July, 2009 Just got back from playing golf. 18 holes with a 6:55am start. Seemed a good idea. Except when we got there the temp was already 38C and there was the remains of a fog, yep a fog at 38C, the humidity level was 87%. After about an hour the fog had burned off and the sun came out. When we finished the temp had hit 45C and the humidity was still at 85%. I just got back after standing under a cold shower for 15 minutes, I lost just over 3Kg, drank 6 litres of fluid and feel like complete cr*p. Think it was the single most stupid thing I have ever tried to do, not really eased by scoring 21 Stableford points on the front nine and 17 on the back. Took me 10 minutes to fish my Sand Iron out the lake after it flew out of my hands. Got me thinking, anyone else done anything really stupid or embarrassing for sport?

skintsaint Posted 22 July, 2009 Share Posted 22 July, 2009 Couple of things for me, had a kick about in Sydney a few years back when it was about 40C and didnt put suncream on or take any liquid with me, after a few hours I soon regretted it, was burnt to a crisp and nearly blacked out at one point. Another one was training with a semi pro team after taking nearly a year out from football, after getting flogged round the pitch with shuttle runs etc etc I couldnt walk for a week.
