Dress me for my race tomorrow

[agswife]

I'm running a 10k at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Temps will be in the low 50s, it'll be sunny.

Shorts with short sleeve shirt is what I would wear. Good luck!

[Susie]

Shorts and a wicking tank or tee.

[taratru]

Shorts and a tank. Throwaway gloves early, maybe.

Oh, and can I play? Half tomorrow, starts at 6:30am when it will probably be about 35-40 and shady (canyon). As the race goes on (about mile 3 forward) the sun will be shining, mid-40s.

I had planned on a l/s throwaway over a tank with shorts and long socks, but I'm wondering if I should just wear a long sleeve tech.

[agswife]

Really, shorts??? I won't be cold?

Tara - I have no idea, since I clearly don't know how to dress myself lol!

I always follow the "dress like it's 20 degrees warmer" rule and it works for me.  The only variable is the sun.  Since it will be sunny for you, you won't get cold.

Shorts and and a tank or short sleeved tech shirt. It was in the 50's and sunny at my half last weekend and I wore a tank, shorts, and a throw away long sleeve shirt and took it off at mile 2 after I warmed up.

I would wear crops and a tech tee, but I usually have the race day dress UO on this board as I prefer crops to shorts.

Shorts, long socks, and l/s tech would be my vote. Make sure it's one with easily rollable sleeves in case you get a little warm toward the middle/end.

Sunny and 50s is shorts weather. With a tank/arm warmers, or s/s shirt.

50* is my shorts cutoff temp. 

35-49* = crops

Below 35* = pants or tights

The sun and exertion will make you warm up quickly.

This morning when I ran it was 55, overcast, windy. Shorts and short sleeves were perfect.

taratru - I think I would do capris, short sleeves, a throw away long sleeve, and gloves.
