Delayed Start

I tried camping on the night of the 29th. I found a small green patch, one of the only inconspicuous areas on the Key West Island, to set up my bivy, but struggled immensely to fall asleep. Even though the low was only 82°, the feels like temperature never dropped below 93°. At midnight a storm rolled onto the horizon, giving me a nice breeze and brief reprieve before the brunt of the storm hit. For the next 2 hours I was soaked in a deluge. It was an incredibly powerful and wet storm. I was sleeping in a puddle. When my alarm went off at 3am I was already awake, lying in a pool of sweat and rain. I tried to ride, but felt decidedly awful, and after 20 miles decided to stop and give myself another day before starting for real. I will now begin in August 31st, at around 3:30am. No more setbacks this time.
