I don't believe in baking in the summer. If the outside temperature feels like an oven I just can't bring myself to turn on my oven indoors. It just seems wrong. So every year before the summer off-season, I bake as much as I can to stock the freezer and my stomach with as many carbs as possible. This year I've made muffins (some actually made it to freezing) and bagels (all eaten before freezing) and am making banana bread today. But with the warm weather fast approaching, I am expecting to crank it out over the next two weeks or so.
I will spend my off-season doing cross-training with other equipment, like the BBQ. I hear good things about BBQ'ed pies. I'll also spend time in the sauna, ie gardening outdoors which will help train my respiratory system. And I'll probably add in some strength training to round out my program. This should involve carrying the food to the BBQ and lifting the cover. And then I'll be back stronger than ever for the regular season, starting in Fall 2011.
