Tbone! 509er here too! Are you doing Ironman again this year? My boyfriend's dad is probably going to volunteer this year and almost certainly going to compete next year. He doesn't swim at all now. Should be interesting! I'm planning to do a sprint tri in CDA. Are there any Spokane groups? Where do you swim? I heard the Y doesn't have very big pools (I had thought they would).

So 50F your either naked or running in your undies?

If I had my way yeah, unfortunately I live right next to a police station. Plus, I usually don't even take my shirt off to run because my pasty white MN body is still under there, but I am already sporting a decent farmer's tan. Needless to say I was sweating like crazy yesterday.

For those of you who run in cooler weather, what in terms of clothing, does 40F mean to you?

For me -- short sleeved T-shirt covered with a long sleeved t-shirt...... Running shorts and I usually start out wearing gloves, but take them off during the run...... At about 35 or so I normally go to longer running pants or tights...

I'm heading up to the mountains with some friends in a few weeks. The weather report said it expected temps in the 40s-60s (Probably closer to 40 as I want to get my runs in before people wake up) I've never been good at correlating numeric degree values with how cold it actually feels. For those of you who run in cooler weather, what in terms of clothing, does 40F mean to you? Thanks, Ben

Depends on Wind - Dead calm and low 40s is nice in shorts. Windy and not as nice. If you are running easy and slow you generate less heat. I also find what is nice for 1 hour is not always nice for a 2 hour run. If the sun is not up you will get no radiant heat. I would go runs 40 minutes shorts runs in dead calm > 40 minutes = shorts Windy and > 40 minute runs - Sweat pants Once its in the upper 40s = shorts for all

Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

Exactly. I didn't say "ALL hot women, no pants no shorts". It is situation dependent. Besides, running that way hurts. All the RA women I've met are hot. Not all of the kickrunners women are hot. ha HA!

WooHooo! I'll take it! Big grin

unless there is a hard wind or rain, my usual scale is 32F - long sleeve shirt comes off 40F - long pants come off

Opposite for me.

Indeed. (in other news, I don't really know if I'm MTAing or not because I just thought that's what everyone wrote when they edited a post. But I am leaving right after the race.)

For a long run I dress 25 deg F above ambient temp, 20 deg F above for shorter runs. I factor in wind as well ever since getting cramped calves from windy 30 deg day while in shorts. So <30f>40 shorts, and shirt depends on wind. On a windy 30 deg day I'll put on a wind breaker vest instead of the short sleeve shirt. A good example is the recent Cowtown 10k on 2/28. Temp we 25-30 deg F with 15-20 mph steady wind, gusts to 35! I wore tights, shorts, my long and short sleeve shirts and a light hooded wind breaker that I could remove and tie around my waist. As it turned out I never took it off and just unzipped it and let it flap in the breeze. The wind gusts were to strong and it was light enough that I didn't overheat. Runners World has a what to wear wizard that lets you select temp, wind, and how you like to feel, e.g. cool, warm, etc. I used that to get some ideas. Being an early morning pre-dawn runner the only time I run in daylight is when I race... My problem is over dressing for a race and getting warm from solar heating! Shocked

When do you put on running pants?

My neighbors sure do appreciate when I remember to put them on before the run.
