So much can change in 10 days! I'm doing an anti rain dance for you!

[Susie]

Thanks

I'm not sure which I'm doing more of: the anti-rain dance, or the sub-85* dance!

So close! The rainy day marathons I've had were all clear forecasts until 3-5 days before. 10 days is still a crap shoot.

[shorewife]

At least the winds seem okay...??

[Susie]

I don't think I've watched a 10 day forecast so intently since I was getting married 6 years ago.

FWIW, at 5-10 days out, it was smooth sailing.  When the time finally came, we had a late season snow storm the day before, and a bunch of guests got stranded.  Whoops.

No panicking yet!

I don't believe forecasts until 2 days out. or until they say what I want. whichever comes first.

I have a hard time believing forecasts, even though I look at them obsessively before races. This past Sunday morning, we had a forecast that said 60% rain that night...and we didn't even get a drop. Sending good weather thoughts your way!

Way to early to worry!

[sadlebred]

Too early to worry!

[kams]

No worries yet! And who knows, if it does rain, maybe it will be a lovely light sprinkle at the end of the run. That sort of sounds heavenly!

I'm so excited for you Susie! Are you tapering this week and next?

[Susie]

Yes. I am doing a 10 mi long run this weekend, and a ride of not-yet-decided length, then next week will be pretty easy. I can't believe I'm here! I know my training could've been more solid if I hadn't traveled last month, but it is what it is. This is my first one, so finishing = PR, and I feel pretty prepared. I mean, I did a 4:08 half iron aquabike last year on a small fraction of the training. So steady as she goes from here.

[trigal]

Actually not too bad. But waaaay to early to plan!

[libbygrl109]

I can't believe you're so close! I have a feeling you'll rock it, no matter what the weather.
