Practice in the Rain

About our recent rainy night practice

3/6/20241 min read

Today we had some nasty weather. Cold and rainy with a decent wind. But, as I told my loyal group of athletes, races go on no matter what the weather. And in the 6 full Ironman races I've done, it has rained during 4 of them. (Also, for the record, I would never force someone to practice in the rain. They came willingly.)

They came out with the same great attitude as always. This was the first night that I had a bike for each of them, so after the swim we added in a 10 minute bike. After the bike they headed out to the track for a 12 minute run.

This was also our last practice before the time change. So far we've had only pool and track lights, and next week we'll have some sunlight. It'll be nice and I look forward to the warmer weather potentially bringing more athletes out.
