Cold is really an understatement. We're talking low 50s. Serious hypothermia issues. WTC has set up warming huts on the swim out to deal with the issue. I didn't know it was that cold. Maybe they shouldn't be having it at that time if people are having serious hypothermia issues. That's unhealthy and unnecessary (and silly). I am all for a challenge, and I don't shy away from races because they are hilly, hot, etc., but serious hypothermia is a turnoff. I have no idea what I want to do after IMMT. I need to see how I am able to juggle parenting and training, and I need to find out if the full IM is the right distance for me. My kids' activities are starting to grow in number, and it's only going to get worse. I'm thinking I may have to bring it back down to olympic distance after this summer. Having said that, if I totally rock the IMMT or absolutely fall in love with it, then I'm doing another one in 2014. |
