Weather.com, 12 degrees, partly cloudy, 20% chance of precipitation. I normally find weather.com quite accurate, but it's probably a bit early to be very accurate, but fingers crossed!
Ah you see you forgot the wind!

+1 tomred, the worst possible weather for me is windy Im just useless in it. A few child of pragues will have to be put out sun night. I'm going to start praying. Anyone ever run with the 3.30 group before? I'm bit anxious about how congested it's going to be.
I'd say it will be jammers. Sure the pin up boy from Chicago is one of the pacers ...... as well as bona fida runners you'll also have hoards of autograph hunters as well 0 -
A buddy of mine ran with them last year. Absolute chaos going thru the park and at the first few waterstops.
Combine that with an alcoholic pacer and its a potential recipe for disaster!
The same alcoholic pacer ran with the group last year
The only waterstation that is a problem is the first one at 3 miles: for some reason they only have a few tables at one side of the road and everyone wants water. For other stations there are many tables at both sides of the road. There is of course an easy solution: carry a small bottle of water from start and run straight through the first water station....(or just don't take on water for the first 6 miles).0 -

Haha, missed all the banter last night!! I'm here to entertain! :cool:
I did indeed run with them last year and found no issues at all..apart from first water station which I skipped.
Sure who needs water after 3 miles if you are hydrated well on the start line?
If anything it will benefit big time on Monday to run with a pace group if it's windy as forecast.0 -
