Abstract
Environmental conditions that day in Vancouver did not at all bring to mind heatstroke. Ambient temperature stayed below 21 C (70 F), with a gentle breeze off the bay. What's more, the event was a mere 10-km "fun run." Yet the medical tent saw several cases of hyperthermia-and I had the sore ribs to prove it.
