O.K. lets preface this by saying I like the heat. I'm just not as young as I was.
I would spend hours in the sun practicing Archery and USPSA when I was younger and I was good at both. Now I'm a C- Class shooter for SCSA, I don't shoot Archery or USPSA anymore.
I went prepared. I had 6 large bottles of Gatorade, 4 bottles of water, electrolyte packets to put in my water, a cooling vest and towels but I still managed to get so worn out I cramped up on the last 3 stages and when I got home I almost passed out but held onto the car and missed hitting the floor.
I had to shoot the last two stages. 5 - to - Go and Smoke and Hope are just too much fun to not shoot them. Even the Match Director came up to me in his golfcart to see if I was o.k. I lied and he let me continue.
Next week's match, the weather is only supposed to be 103 so I'm going to shoot it again. I've added some salt tablets to my refrigerated cooler and I think this will help me get threw the day
