I agree with juxt that no sun should be a big help to keep in more manageable. Things have trended in a better direction for the forecast here for 4/28. Right now on phone I'm seeing 52 at the gun and 59 at the finish with limited wind. Chance of sun is only thing that has me a bit worried...

Exactly. Sometime in the last 10 years they seemed to collectively realize that "weather" was their get out of jail free card.

I like the disclosure requirements of the fees. The area I've been consistently disappointed in over the years is the airlines response to major delays or cancellations. It seems like there's very little urgency in getting you to your destination in a reasonable timeframe. Is that addressed...

I don't have an issue with this in theory, but my past few employers have all made engineers sign non-competes as a condition of employment, even in instances where the person coming in needs basically no training at all because they have a ton of experience. In practice I've never seen them...

Now I'm hungry for cheese curds.

Logical questions. On the RHR, I don’t wear my watch to bed, so the watch is taking readings during my more active times. I’ve noticed though that when I’m reading or sitting quietly in a meeting it’s not unusual to see mid-40s or even lower. I’m not sure what causes Garmin’s algorithm to...

Same issue here, although less wind for 4/28. Highs for Thursday through Sunday: 61/60/61/77 Low of Sunday 58?! Really hoping to not have the whole race in the 60s and 70s. At least it’s supposed to be cloudy. Maybe the system will be delayed. I agree with @MAC_32 that if it’s going to be...

What my watch tells me : 48 > 47 < 58 What I would guess is right : 46 < 47 < 51

When I first saw the Strava wall reference, I checked the weather in IL assuming it was windy, and then I was shuked because it was only like 5-10mph. And from the splits I could see he didn't hit any sort of energy wall. I never even considered that he was talking about a literal, physical...

Yeah, my wife goes up to bed before me pretty much 100% of the time, but often watches stuff on her phone. It drives me nuts when I go to sleep and she's still watching some show without headphones while I try in vain to actually use the bed for sleeping. To be fair she seems to only do it...

Any update on our Boston friends? Seems like weather is a bit challenging - pretty strong tailwind but also pretty toasty.

So impressive. Great job @Juxtatarot!

Would be extra impressive in hexadecimal, though.

Strava milestone this past weekend. Now at 10,011 running miles :bowtie:

I was wondering how long the cars would hold out. I reserved from Hertz at Houston months ago for Saturday afternoon, and they were absolutely flying off the lot with very few left. We watched at Pace Bend Park west of Austin. A thick cloud rolled in like 20 seconds before totality and...
