While at an outdoor event this year on a very hot day early in the season - before my body had time to adapt to the summer heat - I got a warning from my Apple Watch that my heart was elevated even though I didn’t appear to be moving. My heart was up over 120 BPM just standing around. I went to my car, turned on the AC, and drank some water. My heart rate went back to normal, but it was pretty unnerving. The scarier thing was this was a youth sports tournament. These kids are playing all-day tournaments in 33C+ heat (and sometimes 36C+) for a solid two months of the year. While they may cope with the heat better than I do, I worry it’s only a matter of time before tragedy strikes. That being said, this year I am making an effort to rely less on AC and do some moderate exercise in the heat to increase my tolerance.
