Does anyone actually workout in the outdoor pool with these inhuman water temperatures of 90+? Last week it was 86, and I was so uncomfortable, cramping constantly, despite bananas, Vit 3 and tons of water. I've had to go indoors, which is killing me, since I suffer through winter, living for the summer, but this is brutal. I'm on the East coast. This week the air quality is bad, and heat index is in the triple digits as well. Should I tough it out and just accept that the workout will be quite poor? :doh:
It's just going to suck. Our Y has the same issue and it's brutally painful. I think a push workout vs. an endurance workout is the way to go. Go hard and fast in short bursts with A LOT of rest (i.e., 10x25 on the 30, 10x50 on the minute, 10x100 on the 2 minute or faster, but all with a lazy couple laps and few minutes between the sets).
