Know what I've been up to? Riding and running in sweltering heat. Which I hate. Buuuuttt, I have a race in July. Stupid. I hate summer a lot, and typically try to schedule my races in the spring and fall. Triathlons, it seems, take place mostly in the summer. I guess because of the swim part. Unless you're swimming in Lake Michigan, where it is approximately 3 degrees above freezing. So, at the end of all my showers from now until July 18th, I am spending about 5 minutes standing in water as cold as I can make it. It takes my breath away. I am hoping this will help make the water in Racine slightly less terrifying and cold feeling. We'll see. I only have to be in it for, best case scenario, 45 minutes or so. I don't think I can reasonably spend that much time a day standing in an ice cold shower, so 5-10 minutes is going to have to do.
