Re: TAPER MADNESS!!!!
The wind is subsiding as we get another day closer. Down to 12 mph from the 15 mph yesterday.

Re: TAPER MADNESS!!!!
Good. Don't freak out. Laughing is what you should be doing. You have enough to concentrate on just making it to the Start. If you run out of things on what to concentrate, just concentrate on proper planting of your feet during the taper...especially when you're just walking around. No need for a sprain at this point.Jordan S. wrote:Not freaking out. Laughing a little but not freaking out.

Looking at the Canadian forecast for Hamilton, they drop any mention of the word "Windy" in their forecast for Saturday and Sunday. You just need to figure out what an average wind for Hamilton is.Nick Morris wrote:

And the rain chances retreat to what could be a CYA 30% chance of rain.

Overcast and temps between 41 and 48, with a dry cleaning bag as a poncho, and that looks like great weather to me. No sun beating down on you!
Take another anti-tapermadness virus pill and see me in the morning.

I am not worried about the precipitation and really not worried about the wind.

Re: TAPER MADNESS!!!!
Those do look like good running conditions, Nick. Cool and cloudy makes it a lot easier to sustain a blistering pace for 26.2, and a cooling breeze helps, too!Nick Morris wrote:I am not worried about the precipitation and really not worried about the wind.

Excellent! That's exactly where you want to be at this point. You never feel more alive than you do in the midst of taper madness.Nick Morris wrote:+1Jordan S. wrote:Not freaking out.

Re: TAPER MADNESS!!!!
Just 4 more days until the Lakefront 50/50 and I am undertrained and still have a niggling injury. A high of 47 and low of 31 with 16 MPH winds, it will be a very cold start. The lakefront doesn't have any features to block wind.

I hope it's > 32, or that the wind is only coming from the West, or you may have some ice!!

Re: TAPER MADNESS!!!!
My experience is that only a 1 ton box truck or larger is capable of blocking that much wind.Jim Lentz wrote:I will make sure they are big runners.Nick Morris wrote:Make sure to tuck in behind a group of runners.Jim Lentz wrote:Just 4 more days until the Lakefront 50/50 and I am undertrained and still have a niggling injury.

Just make sure the box truck has its bib on the grill.
For Saturday, the National Weather Service is calling for cloudy skies and 50 degrees, after a low of 44. Winds are supposed to be out of the west-northwest sustained at 15 mph, with gusts during the day up to 25 mph. 20% chance of rain...probably CYA %
You're going to need a bigger truck.

Ha, 30% means that it is not going to happen. Only when they forecast 40% or higher does it actually rain.Jerry wrote:Prepare a shower capNick Morris wrote:Check it out Nancy...The wind forecast keeps dropping It's down to 10 mph.

Two years ago, I ran Dallas in cold rain. Shower cap was the only thing I did right. 3:00:09.
I regret very much not wearing my running rain jacket, but you are a northerner and may have better cold tolerance.
