I don't know how those kids do it. I thought I was going to stroke at the BC vs SH baseball games Sat. and it was nowhere close to that kind of heat.

I think that's your answer.....cause they are kids!!

Each year it gets harder and harder for me to sit out in that heat...as much as I love watching them!!

The swimming pool at the hotel won out last year over watching the 5A meet!!

God bless all the kids participating. The heat and humidity are just horrible. I hope they are all properly hydrated.

I wonder what the difference in waiting close to a month is??

Are the kids from dry West Texas gonna be at a disadvantage??

I wonder what the humidity percentage is supposed to be??






I am having flashbacks of trying to get a good deep breath of air when I was in Cuero!!!:eek:

The kids can do it because their body thermostats operate at full capacity whereas us "older" folks bodies are tired and operate at much less than top rate. Also add in our high blood pressure meds and other body altering habits (booze, smoking and being overweight) we just can't hack it anymore.

Sorry, I just could not stray from giving a smart a$$ retort! LOL
