Default Got burned

Rode almost 200 miles today in over 100 degree heat here in SoCal. Got home and realized I had fried my right innner thigh.( third degree burns with huge blisters.) &nbsp\\;Obviously had contact with something on that side of the bike&nbsp\\; that got really really hot. I didnt realize what was happening because I was so mirerable and hot all over my body. Wonder if any one else has this problem and how to correct/fix it. Ridng with my legs further out from the side of the bike will not work as I am 5'1" with 25 inch inseam.
