I played 2.5hrs of tennis at age 56 from 330-6pm Tuesday - no big deal, just stay hydrated

If you are heat adjusted. Also playing tennis you can stop at any time if you feel over heated. On a hike, you are kind of toast if you have to hike back 2 miles or more when you are gassed, overheated or whatever in the heat. That is way different then stepping off a tennis court, dousing in available cold water, no more energy needed.

I'm looking for a restaurant with a nice view within an hour drive from Gilbert, AZ.

I would prefer on a lake, any suggestions?

Or overlooking an airport...
 
Hi everyone, thanks for the advice. I completed the Camelback hike, starting at around 07:10. I ascended using the Echo Canyon route, and descended using the more gradual Cholla Trail. It was fun - and quite a bit steeper than I thought. For a brief moment, I almost lost my footing on the way up.

I brought five 500 mL (approx. 17 oz) bottles of water - I drank one on the way up, and one immediately after I finished the descent. I then walked about 13 kilometers (8 miles) to Old Scottsdale, and then the ASU Tempe campus (I drank all the water I had on me, and bought several more bottles). I was prepared to take the bus or call an Uber if I felt weak.

Overall, this was a pretty tough half-day of walking for a Canadian who isn't used to this type of heat. I wish I could have tried the Flatiron hike, but maybe another time.

It must have been nice to go for a long walk without snowshoes on!

Are any of you interested in participating in the HFBoards NFL Mock Draft? We still have a spot open for the Cardinals.

Thread '2025 Hfboards NFL Mock DRAFT Discussion'

I didn't see anybody post this, so figured we should get a thread started for people to pick teams etc. My thought is to begin the draft ~March 14th. That will be a couple days past the beginning of FA which starts on the 12th. And prior to the 12th, is the 52 hour courtship period for free agents. So, most big free agents should be picked over by then.

For the first time in awhile, every team owns their 1st round pick.

I have arranged them in 1st round draft order. Go ahead and pick your team. I have taken the Steelers.

1: Tennessee Titans - @Romang67
2: Cleveland Browns -...
