It is FAR too early to complain about the heat! This is the time to be CELEBRATING the heat and humidity because it gives you that much more chance to get acclimated to the conditions you'll almost certainly face on race day. As mentioned, our northern competitors don't have this luxury and will be melting come May! |

Nope, just a Garmin file so I can load it into Cycling Peaks and compare with some of the rides I do around here. |

Extreme Veteran 1986 Cypress, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas Last week was just as bad. I rode yesterday and the 10-12 mph winds were much kinder than the 20+ mph winds last Sunday. Appears the winds were back in the 20+ range again today. Not a big fan of wind... unless it's behind me. Edited by GMAN 19030 2011-02-27 1:00 PM |

Extreme Veteran 479 The Woodlands, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas dodgersmom - 2011-02-27 1:27 PM You guys are scaring me I wouldn't worry. The winds typically disappear in March & stay gone 'til November. |
