Even though this will be my 8th MW - I can't remember when the course maps will be released? Anyone recall?
IIRC, usually 2-3 weeks before? Mid December

Exactly. Pace yourself for the 5, 10, and half, and then grind out the marathon.Agree. Love it also. Someone asked me this past weekend that question that I am sure many of you get "how do you get through four runs four days in a row". I always said just get to Sunday and then becomes a matter of survival. You have to get from point A to B. Not everyone does it the same. You have to do what is required to survive that last run.
I'm pretty sure there was a flurry or two during the 2010 frozen tundra weekend. I think it was the morning of the half.SAFD: I treat MW as a hope for the best, prepare for the worst situation. I had a tote filled with running clothes for all weather last year (we drive for MW). As to prepare, beforehand I just never skip a run due to weather (except lightning) because anything can happen on race day….well except the flurries I ran in this morning. THAT would be something at Disney!
That’s happened, too! 2010 - flurries for the half. Marathon day saw temps in the 20s with wind chills in the teens and frozen water stops. It was pretty wild! And COLD. I wasn’t running, just visiting parks early in the day, and I could not stay warm at all. Spent a LOT of time indoors, sipping hot beverages.… except the flurries I ran in this morning. THAT would be something at Disney!
Another Houston are person here. We get so used to running in the heat and humidity a good majority of the year, that I am usually someone who wants a little warmer temp than most people want. My ideal weather would be 65-70 degrees for the race, but I know that most people like it in that 50-55 degree range. But it has been nice running this past week in the cooler temps. I had two long runs the past four days. The mid 50's temp made it a nice run. I actually went out in a singlet today. I forgot that if you are running in a singlet in cold weather, there are some areas that need to have some vaseline applied, LOL. I was starting to feel like Andy from The Office.SAFD: Being from Houston I'm way more used to the heat/humidity. It's actually a little harder for more in the winter because of my asthma + the cold air. Hoping that it's not **too** cold, and definitely not rainy.
How do y'all usually pack? Am I looking at bringing my entire running wardrobe with me to be ready for any weather?
