Around 4C. Rainy. Windy. Even a possibility of snow overnight.
On one hand, I'm not looking all that forward to those conditions... slopping through muddy trails in the cold can be pretty miserable!
On the other hand, the races I remember the most are the ones where the conditions weren't perfect. Like Paris to Ancaster this year...I can't remember all of the times I've done that race, but I do remember the year with the brutal headwind, or the year I got a sunburn. This year was snow flurries and craaaazy mud, worst ever (see accompanying picture of people in winter jackets and me covered in mud!)
I remember the time I ran Around the Bay and it was single digits and poured rain for the first half. I did it in shorts! Epic.
I remember the sweltering heat at the Gravenhurst Triathlon one year, where most of the field was doing a death march through the "run"...
As JFK said:
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard
To the moon!
