Not to appear as some old guy sitting back complaining about the weather but living in the Buffalo-Rochester area trying to train a World-Class Pole Vaulter, I am beginning to look like that old man sitting on the porch and constantly complaining about the weather and what is inadequate about it. It started in January and February as we recorded the 6th and 7th coldest months ever in our history resulting in us trying to pole vault in conditions that were 'arctic like'. So cold, that the heating system could not heat the place enough to get any kind of workouts in.
March was no better, and then we entered April hoping to see the sun in the first time in four months and get some outside training in. We now found ourselves in the rainiest April ever recorded in the history of our area. Instead of being outside, training, I found myself constantly jumping between two properties trying to keep the basements from flooding. A task that has pleasantly transferred all the way to May.
Still waiting for warm weather, still waiting for some sunshine, and I basically need a canoe to get down the driveway to my training facility. As for my world class pole vaulter, she is not like one of those old men sitting and complaining about the weather. She is like one of those old ladies sitting and complaining about old men.
