After flirting with heat exhaustion yesterday, I avoided the heat today, and rode my bike indoors.  It wasn’t quite as hot as yesterday outside, but it was still quite oppressive.

I started the day with a visit to our neighborhood outdoor pool.  I didn’t have a swim workout scheduled for today, but decided to swim anyway.  I lost a few weeks swimming, when I didn’t have access to an open pool. As a result, I feel that I am a little behind in my swim training.  Hence this extra visit to the pool.  I had a really good swim this morning, so was really glad I went.

My scheduled workout for the day, was a 90 minute easy effort ride on the bike.  Even though I wouldn’t be pushing hard, I chose to ride my trainer and avoided the heat.  I also had a good ride.  Without pushing hard, I still was producing some good power.  I really feel like my strength is starting to return.

Tomorrow is a swim and a run day. Luckily, the temperatures are forecast to be much lower and I will be able to run outside.
