Yeah, I didn't feel too bothered by the heat mostly, but I'd done TPR in the heatwave beforehand so probably had some heat adaptations already. It was the wet and cold later on that was more annoying. I was so annoyed not to make Italy one night and spend £150 on a hotel because I was going to take too long and it was only 3C in Switzerland. I did stay for their breakfast though and had a lovely morning of scenery instead.
I saw 39C on the 'UFO' climb and another climb but I don't remember which one. It seemed to cool down for much the rest of the race except maybe the Italy section. My memory is pretty bad for details like this though.
