I'm going to try a plastic bag over my socks and under my shoes to see if it helps. It's suppossed to make your feet windproof.

Triathlete Magazine wrote a great article about this in the January issue. Your body uses more energy in cold weather because it has to work harder to keep your body warm. Also, you need more fluids than you think during this time. People think in cold temps they don't need to drink. Quite the oppositte. So, it's not because you have lost fitness. It probably has more to do with the cold and how your body is compensating. Hope this helps.<BR/>BennyPapa Tweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333027991018464533noreply@blogger.com
