ANST - heavy fighting + heat...

[Lorraine and/or Kief]

Heilsa Alexandra...!

You wondered:

>Greetings from a timid yankee tenderfoot newbie who wishes to
>heavyfight...only one problem. HEAT!

You are most Well Come to our fair, but hot and sometimes humid, Kingdom...!

Heat is a problem for all of us. Take it slow, drink loads of water and 
_______-aide style drinks, wear cotton under it all to wick sweat away from 
the body, wear as little armor as you can stand. Take it slow. Listen to 
what your body tells you. No one know better than you what you can and 
cannot stand in the way of heat stress... Oh, and did I mention... Take it 
slow...!!

Lots of practice, frequent exposure to the climate...*grin* and more 
practicee... Work out without the armor for a while and build up your 
resistance to the elements... Drink lots of water...!! Oh, and...take it 
slow...!

>Think I'll wait till fall...maybe winter?

Sure...I've seen it 90 F in December... Rare, but not as rare as you'd 
think...*bigger grin*
