7am! I'm glad to hear it's not supposed to be bad until Wednesday night. I'm bad keeping up with the weather.
That's a really good idea - flying into Tampa. One of the most hassle-free airports in the country. Love it there. You shouldn't have to keep up with the weather. We've all go too much going on as it is. I'll keep you posted. The models tonight showed some good signs that the storm will stay of the coast for the mid atlantic but the northeast from NYC thru Maine is going to take a hit. Check back tomorrow and I'll do the best I can to keep you updated. Can't promise I'll be right, but I think I'll be more accurate than the weather outlets. Good luck with your race!
BTW....Happy New Year!
Argh. I work for an airline based in NYC and I have 100% confidence in my ability to get to FL via another city or a day early, but I really hope this storm doesn’t manifest. The anxiety is eating me alive nonetheless.Two model updates. Long and the short of it, it's still up in the air. The GFS shows a minor event for Boston on the latest run, but the CMC model shows a direct hit for Boston with over 20" of snow. see the two images below. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Well... I was going to say, Champion probably would, but now I don’t see them on the exhibitor list. ??? Haven’t they always had a booth? Or at least since they’ve been a sponsor?
"Zensah" does sell arm sleeves (not sure if at their booth but they sell them) and then "RunGirlRun" sells these https://rungirlrun.com/collections/accessories/products/swirls-curls-armies and they'll be there. You could always contact them to make sure they'll have 'armies' on hand. Here's their facebook https://www.facebook.com/RunGirlRun19/
"Sheddable shells" looks like they make pants (like they pull off easy so who know for running long term but they'll be there) and then "RunGirlRun" looks like they sell tights, Here's their facebook https://www.facebook.com/RunGirlRun19/
That is a really kind offer, but unfortunately no, I won't be at that meet-up as it will be family time. I'll see what I can scope out at the Expo, I've got tons of layers besides, just thought they would work beter for the Full (and maybe the half).
Welcome back!! I hope it was a magical trip! So pleased to be meeting you later this week
Well I didn't draw those two weather map images. Those are from computer runs and not "weather people". Use or ignore the info as you'd like. I posted it for the people who may find travel difficult or impossible on the 4th or 5th. As far as temps are concerned, a lot of people automatically wonder how it could be in the low 30's in Orlando and don't prepare for the cool weather. If you think temps in the 30's are impossible just look back to the start of last year's marathon. It was 34 degrees and in believe in 2010 runners from this board talked about running in freezing rain. As I said, use or ignore the info as you'd like. As a mass resident with so much experience with "weather person" hype, you shouldn't have a thing to worry about right?
Raw threads usually have some, but you are pretty limited with the stock they have available (might be a hot commodity and sell out). Knee high socks work as well as buying a boy's sized thermal top and cut the arms off and use them.
