Excessive heat warning

I was a little worried when I saw KC was once again under an excessive heat warning until Tuesday afternoon, especially since I am scheduled for a 1 hour swim, 60 mile bike ride and 16 mile run starting at 9:30 tomorrow - probably not finishing until 4:30-5:30. But after reading the warning (below) a little closer, I realized I had nothing to worry about.

"..EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM SUNDAY TO 10 PM CDT TUESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PLEASANT HILL HAS ISSUED AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM SUNDAY TO 10 PM CDT TUESDAY.

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN HEAT INDICES EXCEEDING 105 DEGREES FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS...FOR THREE OR MORE CONSECUTIVE DAYS. BE SURE TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER...STAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES ARE THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE EXCESSIVE HEAT. BE SURE TO PERIODICALLY CHECK ON THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST AT RISK. HEAT EXHAUSTION...OR IN EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE...MAY RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THIS DANGEROUS WEATHER. AVOID ANY STRENUOUS OUTDOOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES... PARTICULARLY DURING THE HOTTEST AFTERNOON HOURS."

Anyone that knows me knows I never reach "strenuous" levels during training. And my training group has taken the appropriate precautions. Hydrating, plenty of cold water, salt tablets, Perpetum, etc. I am confident that training will go just fine. Slow, but fine.

And best of all, I once again get to train in long-sleeved shirts.

That plain sucks.
