I've got Eagleman coming up in June and for the past few weeks I've been trying to do a bit of heat acclimation. Coming from New England, I feel anything could help. I've done a weekly ride in a bathroom with the shower on and no fans. This morning was 1 hr 20 min and I went through 4 bottles of water. I weighed myself before and after the ride and I lost two pounds - if I factor in the water, that seems like a lot of water weight to sweat out. Does this seem normal?
In terms of effort, I've been shooting for around a HIM effort HR, but watts have come in at least 20% under what they'd be on race day at a similar effort. I've also been sitting in the steam room after each swim for 15-20 minutes.
By the way, the bathroom rides suck (but hope they'll help a bit).
