Member  836    North Augusta, South Carolina |  Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSEDSorry about the confusion. I didn't realize IM Penticton was already open. Also didn't realize the half at Super League Penticton had been canceled earlier in the year. I apparently have been living under a rock OR IM training in SC/GA heat has impacted my brain. |

Well, IM training in heat impacts my brain for sure! At the same time, I don't think Super League was well advertised, especially not the cancellation--the only reason I knew is because it is relatively nearby. The only reason I knew about the half being cancelled was because a friend tried to sign up for it and wasn't able to complete the reg. When she inquired they told her it was cancelled. |

This is UNHEARD of here. I'm thinking I can squeeze out 65-70 miles outside Saturday am if I hit the road at 5:30am with sunrise but the rest will have to be indoors. I know all the cooling protocols but I'm still a little nervous. DAMN! Originally posted by mtnbikerchk I've had pretty good luck stuffing ice down sleeves - cheap pull on ones (not as elaborate as the DeSoto Cool Wings). I agree that they don't do a ton without the ice if it's really humid. Though they do offer good sun protection on the bike. Originally posted by lisac957 I have cooling sleeves but I think it only works if it's not humid - it's the evaporation that keeps you cool. Originally posted by mtnbikerchk so the heat index this weekend is predicted to be 105-110 - and I'm kinda getting nervous about my long activities. Anyone try this? https://icedcap.com/ I have an older pair of Cool Wings from DeSoto. I *think* they help? But only when you can keep them wet. Good for sun protection, too. And yes, the ice down the bra thing was magical at CHOO That's pretty typical summer weather for us, but i know it's a shock to your system! How many miles do you need to get in? For rides of over 60 miles we usually stop somewhere half way, cool down and refill whatever needs refilling. The stop is usually at a convenience store or similar place where we can get ice. It's a great relief, but at the end of the day it is still hot as hell! We had an early forecast that put us in the upper 90's, but the Great Lakes being at or near an all time recorded high has kept things under control. Lake Huron, at least outside of my house, is still in the 50's. Shallow areas are finally in the 60"s. I am not acclimated to the heat, my hat goes off to everyone who trains in the South. I melt like Frosty in the heat. |

Also, coach said run by heart rate and not to stress about pace so that helped mentally. And it was three miles shorter. |

Member 836 North Augusta, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED With regards to training in high heat and humidity, this is finally a topic I know something about! A few things that have helped me in SC/GA: 1. Slooooow down. Seriously, throw all pace expectations out the window. The heat doesn't impact my bike so much, but my summer run pace is almost 2 minutes per mile slower than in the cooler months. 2. Stay in the shade as much as possible. 3. While running at first light is cooler temperature wise, it's also typically far more humid. Pay attention to humidity and....sloooooow your roll. 4. Wear a hat or a visor and carry a cooling towel. They really do feel pretty cool when you swing them around and wipe the sweat pouring off. 5. Prehydrate, prehydrate, prehydrate...something with electrolytes. I swear this has helped me the most this year. I mix together 8 oz water, 8 oz coconut water, 4 oz tart cherry juice, 1/4 t pink salt, 1 T blackstrap molasses. I drink half the night before and the other half an hour prior to my workout. 6. If you can get your hands on ice water during your workout, drink it and dump some over your head. 7. Make an ice bandana (out of your cooling towel?) and wear it around your neck. It'll melt at the base of your neck. 8. If you have ice, carry it in your hands on the run. 9. Up your electrolytes 10. Keep in mind that you may chafe in places you've never chafed before. Enter your bath or shower with caution. |

I learned a brutal lesson during my trail marathon last weekend. It was my first long run with camelback. I decided to run in sports bra only. Everything was fine during the run (thankfully!) but after the race skin from the half of my back is gone... It is so painful I can barely sleep on my back. It is getting better now, but first few days was a nightmare. No matter how hot it is in the future, I will always have a shirt when wearing a camelback (or any backpack) for runs in hot and sunny conditions... |

My ride is supposed to be 100 miles. If we're feeling good after 65 we may just do shorter loops around my house. I don't know how you hot weather people do it all the time (Ann-Marie I'm looking at you  ! My long run is Sunday and I'm starting before sunrise. Actually it's my annual "Simsbury Ultra." I made a 2.45 mile loop that includes a small dirt trail section and I invite my friends to come do as many loops with me as they want. I'll have coolers with ice and electrolytes and a watermelon for snacks  I even made finisher medals!

Master 2429 Falls Church, Virginia | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED I got my race report for last weekend's sprint up. It was not my best day.  Really good call to cancel NYC...the heat is dangerous, and we triathletes are proven to do stupid things no matter the weather! |

I drink half the night before and the other half an hour prior to my workout. Interested in the benefits of the tart cherry juice. I have always read that it helps to promote sleep. It is a good source of electrolytes? Clearly it doesn't make you sleep if you take it before your workout? |

What's not clear to me is how these studies were conducted or who funded them. |
