It's So Hot...

...that I discovered our hot water heater is actually cooling the water!

Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but those brave souls that attended XC Camp yesterday found that the plentiful water pumps at Webster Park can really come in handy. With the temperature north of 95 degrees, caution was the order of the day. The runners were reminded that in conditions like this, which can even occur during the early part of XC season (as opposed to the low 30s that can be experienced at the end of the year!), hydration is something to think about all day long.

With the heat expected to remain high (but not back above 95) for the next few days, running early in the morning is the best option, followed by re-hydrating all day long. Also make sure that any runs of over 30 minutes include a place to stop for water.

Stay cool, y'all!
