And you don’t have to drink alcohol to join the group. Water, slushies, lemonades, teas, coffees, etc. are still “drinking”! It’s just fun to be with the group. We often get a group photo with some poor, unsuspecting character(s)! All are welcome.
If you're not excited about low 40s, you know I'm not, either...
All I can think about is having to take layers off to get rid of undershirts at some point (in a park, because I'm not attempting that in a porta!) and wearing shorts under leggings and then having to *haul* leggings in the back of my belt again for 2+ hours once it warms up. And the fact that it'll probably be in the 40s here in Michigan. I go to Florida to get AWAY from the cold!
Accuweather goes the furthest out. But for reals. Everything is written in pencil for forecasts. But it looks like I'll be grabbing another set of the "32 degree" brand thermal shirts from Costco, making sure I pack coordinating leggings for underneath skirts (in addition to shorts), all of the arm sleeves, and possibly grabbing some inexpensive gloves OR bringing a few packs of handwarmers. Packing for 40s and 80s over here.
I looked accuweather earlier today and saw mid 70s for marathon day.
All four days have forecasts in the low to mid 70s as the high though. So that's not unique to the full. Warmest forecast looks to be 10k day with the low being in the 50s with the other three are in the 40s. Sundays forecast isn't great but its actually really not bad though definitely going to need to pack mylar this year probably.
Highs usually happen at like 3pm. I’m much more interested in the lows because that’s what we have to run in.
Same!
I worry about the highs because of humidity. In VA when the temp gets warmer it’s usually a higher humidity which I do not do well with. So I’m hoping for somewhere between 60/40 and 70/50.Highs usually happen at like 3pm. I’m much more interested in the lows because that’s what we have to run in.
I refuse to put any faith in a weather forecast this far out, but I’d be thrilled with temps in the 40s. When I ran in London two weeks ago, it was 42 and wet. My HR was about 20 bpm lower than what it is at home for the same power and pace. I’ll take that weather and performance any day.
It’s been overcast, damp, and cool (low 50s at night, rising slowly to low 70ish in the day) here 90 miles west of WDW for days and I’m entirely over it. Supposed to go back up near 80 this weekend and I can’t wait!
Honestly, theyv’e all lost a lot of accuracy the last few years - no idea why. But WESH is a local Orlando station that does a decent job, and the Weather Channel app is okay. Accuweather was once my go-to but something’s gone wrong there as of late. Really, any org will be pretty accurate within 24ish hours - long range is just a toss of the dice.
Afternoon thunderstorms are only a thing in summer, caused by high heat + humidity + sea breeze from both coasts colliding. This time of year is our dry season and storms only come with fronts dropping from the north or coming from the west. And those are the ones that are really unpredictable long range - my 7-day forecast called for storms this Wed-Fri over and over and over… and we’ve had no rain at all because the front that was forecast failed to show up. I wouldn't worry about any rain in the forecast this far out!
