Now that we've had our first cold snap here in Austin, I wonder if anyone else has trouble getting up in the cold wee hours to make practice? Any good ways to trick yourself out of bed?
I keep an alarm clock in another room and often think of the answer I'd have to give when coach inevitably says, "So I didn't see you yesterday..." But sometimes, those things just aren't enough. I post this knowing we really don't have much to complain about in the way of cold weather, but I'm a native Texan and just have never liked being cold at all (cold being 55 degrees or so).

We've got people from Texas and Arizona chiming in. I think we should listen to the Calgarian! :canada: Most of the rest of you don't know what cold really is!
Exactly how cold is the air temperature inside that indoor pool in Calgary? I'm in Calgary/Alberta once or twice a year as my wife's family all lives there. I'll be there in December and trust me, it'll be easier to get my butt out of bed to head over to a brightly lit indoor pool than it would be to schlep over in low-to-mid 30 degree weather to swim outdoors at 5:30am in Arizona. Like hoffam, we do have days when the blocks/deck freeze over.
