Every Wish That We Put Into Motion.... (comments welcome!)

The forecast looks pretty good. I would love that temperature for a summer race!

Plan for rain - bring your hat or whatever you put on your head in the rain. Make sure all your sugary treats will be sealed so they don't dissolve in the wet. Put on a little extra anti-chafing stuff.

Doesn't look like it would be much, so that's good. They aren't going to change anything about the course just because it's muddy. You had a number of long runs in the rain, right? You can handle it.

I'm not sure how long you'll be checking this blog before you leave for the race...so good luck! You've got this!

If it looks "definitely wet" I'll be adding ziplocs of vaseline to my vest main pocket as well.

Yep. 3 longer runs in the rain, including the 22mi run.

Oh I'll be checking it a lot because we'll be there before dinnertime on Saturday night and there won't be anything else to do besides doom scroll.
