Subject: RE: Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas : Official Threadre:heat, etc. Ya, it's going to be hot/warm...but I also like the idea of training in a little cooler weather. I'm in Florida and despite liking the heat, I'm a huge sweater and my performance does take a hit. That's part of the challenge for me, to work through it.
re: Florida or AZ, again I live near PCB and the temps are usually ideal in Nov., a tad windy, but no big deal. I spectated at AZ a cupl years ago and despite a hail storm, it looked great. Temps were nice. Both races sell out quick, so you can't be on the fence about signing up. Another option for you would be IM CDA. Temps are usually nice, except the cold water. That actually put me off a bit and is why I selected TX.
