It's really freaking hot here in Southwestern Louisiana. The thermostat is registering at 100 degrees. Plus humidity = 1,000 degrees. And I'm not exaggerating, I promise.
I'm kind of thinking I might have overlooked that heat factor when I signed up for this Olympic tri I'm doing tomorrow. (When I signed up a couple of weeks ago the weather was still relatively functional. Now? Not so much.)
I'll be okay finishing, but a PR? Perhaps not, especially considering my PR race had a short-by-a-mile bike course.
So, my new goal for tomorrow is just to push myself; I'll of course try for that PR, but if it doesn't happen I'll be alright. I'll just blame the insane excuse for a temperature, and know I did what I could...and PR the next time.
I had forgotten about Louisiana summers. They're all nice and warm and comforting through May and then June hits and BAM you might as well be cookie dough because you're going to bake.
So, I guess that's all I have for now. I'm all packed and ready to go to the race. I'm excited and jittery; maybe that pre-race electrification will die down after awhile, but it hasn't yet...and that's pretty awesome.

i know what you mean about the heat - we have the temperatures, but not the humidity. but still, either way - its HOT!
