You are right of course Dan - much better to have a cold race rather than a hot race.
Unfortunately you simply
cannot run in 40 degree heat - it's way too dangerous no matter how fit you feel. Hard to appreciate perhaps until you've tried it, but people do die running in that kind of heat, and it happens very quickly before you're even aware of a problem.
No, I'll simply have to leave my runs until the middle of the night, which I used to do frequently when I lived there. After a 40 degree day 28-30 degrees at 1 in the morning is positively blissful, and if you can't sleep because of the heat, you may as well go for a run is what I always reckoned.
Here we go again.
