Rain Rain Go Away

...And don't ever come back! The weather over the past 4 days on Long Island has not been great. It's been cool and overcast since Sunday. I don't mind the cooler temperatures, in fact it's a nice break from the heat, but the rain has not helped one bit. I haven't been on my bike since last Friday! With less than 3 weeks until the race this isn't good. I've also only been in open water once this week, having to move my long swim into the pool. Doing 80 laps in the pool is not fun! The weather has also brought my spirits down and training has been a lot harder this week. This is just one of the many obstacles triathletes must face and I need to just power through it and not let it affect me. The weather should be clearing up by tomorrow and hopefully it will help raise my energy levels because I'm right in the thick of training and I can't afford to miss too many sessions.
