Triathlon training in New Mexico

Here in New Mexico we are in the middle of a drought. After months of having very little to no rain, yesterday it rained on me for my entire 85 minute run. Minutes after my run ended the rain stopped. Today during my brick I got caught in a hail storm. By the time I was done with my brick the hail was gone & the weather was perfect. Yesterday was the 1st day of my training plan for Ironman Arizona 2011. Interesting timing. I guess that's the life of an endurance athlete in the high deserts of New Mexico!
