The heat and humidity are taking no prisoners already. Damn... By 8:30 this morning it was already over 80 degrees with the heat index even higher. I'm glad I got in two long rides and a few jogs in before this heat wave.
What's a trainee to do in conditions like this? Strength training!! And keep hydrated.
First up... crunches. Followed by ab twists w/ the medicine ball, more crunches and obliques. Easy enough to do at home. Unfortunately I have to rely on the gym for the rest of strength training...
I suppose the next logical thing to do would be to hop back in the pool and get my swim on. Well, I realized something this morning. I'm scared to get back in the pool. Crazy, right? I think so. I haven't been in the pool since the accident in December. At that point I was swimming 5000 yards three times a week. I don't know if it's ego getting in the way (wanting to just get in and swim like I had been) or some other fear (is my shoulder ready/strong enough? will I reinjure it?). Either way... this sucks. Can't do a triathlon without swimming.
Must get out of my head... any suggestions?
