I have been making up for the lack of great rollerskiing options in Maryland by doing a lot more running. I have found a road runners club that has a fun race series and I competed in my first one today- in 90 degree heat and extreme humidity. That was still 10 degrees cooler than yesterday! My strategy for avoiding melting in the sun has been early morning workouts so I get up at 6 each morning when it is only 70 degrees (which is about as hot as it ever is at home in the summer). I then spend the rest of the day in a freezing cold air conditioned lab so on average I am at a comfortable temperature.
