This weeks weather has been no joke. You can tell it's OFFICIALLY summer in New Orleans. Getting quality workouts in has been a true challenge. The problem isn't necessarily completing the workout, but more so staying in appropriate heart rate zones etc. I find my heart rate is definitely a good 10 bpm above where it should be on days like this. Ultimately, I guess all I can do is hydrate... hydrate... hydrate.... and get'er done early....
It's funny because in most areas of the country triathlon season is finally in full swing. It's the opposite here in cajun swamp lands as the race season comes to a standstill. In fact, it's hard to find a race between June-August. In order to get one last fix, I'm headed up to Mississippi today to do this Olympic distance race:
I don't think there could have been a more appropriate race name. It's definitely going to be a scorcher. Anyway good luck to Maggs and everyone else racing this weekend! Stay cool~
