I'd set the A/C to a higher temperature while you're gone. Try 6-10°F higher than when you're home for starters, then tweek it until you get the cool down period you want. You'll still save lots of energy, but the temp won't get out of control.
You could also set the A/C to turn on 0.5-1 hour before you plan to return home, that way the temp could be set higher, but you won't feel it.
