Suffering from taper madness already, figured I'd worry about what to wear with all of this pent up energy!

Looks like lows Saturday night in the mid to upper 30's.......Tights or shorts? Right on the edge for me, I'll certainly take both along with some "disposable" shirts to strip along the way.

The forecasts I've seen say it will be up around 60. Thats way too hot for tights. And with just shorts when it's chilly will get you moving quicker.

shorts for sure. I am doing GR on SUnday morning and it will be way to warm by mid morning. Now at 7:30 you'll be wanting a ton of clothing though but ditch it just before the race starts.

I would always have some old clothes that i didn't care to have anymore and throw them away in the starting line.
