I just want to go on record as saying how impressed I am with all of you coming to race here at IMAZ who live and train in the northern part of the country and Canada. How you all manage to get in your mileage, wether indoors on trainers our outdoors in the brutal elements, my hat is off to you.
Now the bad news. It just got hot here. I mean REALLY hot. We went from day time highs in the 60's-low '70's to almost 90 in about 2 days. This is fairly common, but it does not bode well for a cool day in April. The thing about AZ, once it get's hot, it stays hot. Humidity is in the 10-15% area as well just to add insult to injury.
So, crank up the heat in your homes and before you head down here and get your bodies heat acclimated as best you can and practice hydration, hydration, hydration. It will make your day April 15th!
-Of course it's 'effing hard, it's IRONMAN!
