@Tucson - the humidity is a big part of it. Right now the temperature here is 92 but the heat index is 102. We are under a heat advisory. Going paddling anyway; I will jump in a lot.

I wouldn't worry about the extra until I weighed a few times (soup is bad about giving so an initial spike from water retention; it is usually very salty). You were worried about being too light just a few days ago.

I weighed this morning after I had eaten a couple of things and before a pretty major gastrointestinal event. I was 158.2. I am good with that, especially given the circumstances.

I am going to try to go for a new personal best distance paddling; maybe even break 10 miles. Not sure that will happen in this heat and a pop up shower could ruin my plans, though if there is no lightning it could actually make it easier. Will do that about 80 minutes from now.
