This Should Be Fun ...

Forecast for Ironman Texas:


Mr. OneHourIronMan probably has already checked this 1000x!

If this forecast ends up being accurate then all of us racing are going to be in for a very, very long day.

  2. ... At least the swim will be pleasant??

    You know what they say, you'll have far more pride in your accomplishment from finishing a TOUGH AS F*CK ironman than an easy peasy one (*cough* IMFL *cough*).

  3. Hey WTC, please don't run out of water. That would suck. Again.

  4. Yikes, that's going to be HOT!! I did a couple of Sprint Tris in those temps last year and thought I was going to die...I can't imagine going that distance in that heat.

  5. You will be in for a long day no matter what the weather. You can't change it no worries (said the pot to the kettle).

  6. That forecast is pretty hot, but you totally have this race! You are going to do awesome regardless of the weather!

  7. The A-hole side of me wants to make a wise crack about the temperature, but even I am not that cruel.

    Ok, new game plan. Just finish in 8-9 hours and get off that course and out of the heat ASAP :)

  12. Some sun? Please! That forecast means, water and ice on head at every mile of the run and of course sticking the hydration game plan you already have in place.
