Golf is one activity my wife and I share and that allows me to indulge in other sports. Frustrating as hell though. I will keep going as hard as I can, for as long as I can in part as you say, to be ready for the day it comes.
Post-exercise sweating has never been a big problem for me as long as I take a reasonable cool down period, even after a taking a hot shower, except in maybe the hottest of summer temperatures.
Even now, in my basement training it’s about 18C/65F and with a regular house fan on low, I get off the bike almost dry. Hang out for another 5 minutes or so and I actually get cold and don’t get the post-sweats. I look at all those pain cave pictures with huge industrial fans and it just doesn’t apply to me.
