I’ve received several questions on racingin heat and humidity. I wrote a two-part column that can help you racesuccessfully. Here is an excerpt:

Whether you travel for racing or not, you may find yourself concerned with acclimation to heat and humidity. Consider the following situations:

You train in cool fall air and your next race is in a hot environment.
You train in cool spring air and the first race of the season is in a hot city.
You live in a city that is always cool relative to the locations where you race.
You live in a hot, dry environment but plan to travel to a hot, humid environment for a race.
You live and work in an air conditioned environment but race in a hot and humid environment.

Those heading to Ironman Arizona and Ironman Florida from cooler environments should consider strategies for acclimating to heat and humidity for the race. IMAZ folks living in cool climates should be over-dressing now. See strategies in the two-part column, Acclimating to Heat and Humidity.
