    Pretty much no wind predicted either.  If you are unsure about how much you need to wear, pin your bib # to your shorts so you can throw off what ever you need to during the race.  Even though you are not running marathon pace you may still get hot.  Plus you can have extra gear at the aid stations that your crew can get for you quickly.

        Heh....You know, you're not the first person today to say that....

                Do it, or don't do it, or hurt yourself trying. That's respectable.

                  Go get 'em, spaniel!

                  Not at it at all. 

                    Kick ass and take names!

                      Yep.  Good running Spaniel, be a badass.

                          Thanks everyone, headed out soon.  I must have done something right on this taper because I could bite the head off a bird right now, I'm climbing the walls.

                           

                          My crew already left to preview the course and refueling points.  Talk about committment.
