What changes do you make for summer training?

Old Man Winter still has his grip on southeast Idaho, but at least it's warming up a bit. The snow is gone here in town, and it's melting away in the local mountains. But there is always a chance that I'll wake up in the morning to an inch or so of snow.

When I sit down and make my annual training plan, I always plan a change of focus around the time of the university spring break. I say "around the time of" because who knows what the weather will be like. The last few years, our spring has been cold and wet. The Climate Prediction Center at the National Weather Service says it will be cool and wet again this year.

What changes do you generally plan for when spring hits? I suppose some of you in the south have been riding outside all winter or at least maybe the past two months or so. I like to add in more outside biking (of course!).  Because most of my races are in June, I make a point of doing two OWS each week in May to get used to that kind of swimming again; it's more of a head-game than physical, but it works wonders. As for changes in the run, I'll be changing one of my basic, moderate effort 10k runs at lunch to a hill workout that I absolutely hate to love because it hurts, but it definitely provides some gains.

I've put my skis away and I'm hoping summer gets here quick!
