It’s pouring rain here in sunny southern California, and miserable weather for biking or running.

So, triathletes, what can you do? Sure you can hit the treadmill (boring and more likely to be injured), or get on your trainer (boring and who in California even owns a trainer?)

Your best bet of course is to hit the pool. It’s not THAT cold outside (mid 50’s) and you’re going to be wet anyway. Swimming when it’s raining in December is fun and productive. You’ll be a step ahead of all the lazy slugs who are sitting at home looking out the window at the dreadful weather, and your friends and family will be in awe that you can actually swim in the rain.
