I went through an Army Leadership course in July/August at Ft Knox, where I was stationed. We had several Black days, where we had to sit in the shade and all that. The following week I was back at work, working on Abrams engines that run at around 1000 degrees. That heat didn't compare to Iraq though, was checking the A/C's on trucks and had the IR thermometer gun, took it in the porta-schitter and it was 173 degrees in there!

For my workout, went up and down some steep trails, for an hour this morning, with 45 pounds on my back.
