Hot Hot

This weather is great training weather. The hotter the better, just keep drinking. Took a nice ride the last two days while the temps were mid 90's. I had two water bottles and an Infinit bottle loaded up. I made a water stop at a few small town to refill and the attendants thought I was crazy for being out in this weather. Oh well just another day closer to the race. Riding in these temps makes me not hungry on the bike even though I think of food all the time. I definitely needed to eat and felt in when I pushed the pace on the way back into town.
As of now I'm 66 days away from Louisville and I will be going into the race a little under trained. At least in my own thoughts.
WOWS is still going strong. The water temps are up but some still wore a wetsuit. There were 30 plus out to brave the waters. Someone stole my paddles so the makeshift shovel paddles did the job. A little heavy toward the end and blister started to form but we managed to get the course set up. I know I have said it before but swimming open water is the real deal. A different feel when you cant see a lane line and there are no turns. I can actually relax more, and when you find your rhythm or breathing pattern its much more enjoyable.
Thursday night and Tuesday morning fun runs are in full swing. Last night we had over 20 people attend. It was hot and buggy and the mosquito's were terrible as the sun started to go down. The fun runs are to get or to keep the Heyworth kids in shape for the upcoming cross season and also to give some folks an opportunity to learn how to run and maybe shed a few lbs.
While training in this weather just don't drink while training you must keep prepared all day. Just like I tell the kids drink drink and drink some more.
