Cold Weather still in New Jersey

Boy, and I thought it was warmer here and the growing season was ahead of all the rest of you. Apparently I was wrong (at least for this spring). I keep wanting to bike to work and every morning I wake up it's in the 30's!. I just go back to sleep for an hour and workout at lunch. Strange, we got one entire day of rain on Monday, then the sun comes out every day, but isn't that warm. The grass is growing though. I mowed half the yard last night and I had to wear a hat and gloves. That was a first. Usually I'm totally sweating and wear my camel back so I can drink the entire time I mow (I can't help it; it's mowing for triathletes, all about hydration:)). It better warm up here soon. I have 4 weeks left before my first race of the year, half Ironman and its in the Pocono Mountains. At this rate, I'm not sure the ice has melted in the lake for the swim. It will be a cold race for sure. I'm still trying to finish all the work I had planned for my parents visit. I have to pull out fence posts yet (Dad brought a fence post jack and man does that work). He always said, you just need the right tool and you can do anything. I guess he was right, yet again. He will love hearing that.
Take care everyone
