“Got my water, regularly drinking as much as I possibly can,” Williams said. “Try to get in the shade whenever I possibly can. That’s really about all I can do.”
Others said the air felt thicker than usual. “It just feels thicker, harder to breathe a little bit,” Bryce Dominick said. “Shortness of breath here and there, especially when you’re working hard.”
