Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, you've got all those Doomsday devices you build.  Whip us up a weather controller and program it to be 75 degrees and sunny, with a touch of cloud cover

mscotthall - 2009-09-23 11:52 AM Long term forecast:  64 and partly sunny for October 4th.  Last year the forecast was 67 and sunny

I just got done riding in the pouring rain; I wanna be prepared this year

I distinctly remember the forecast on weather.com for Montauk last year and it was only a 20% chance of ran, highs in the 70's.  20% chance of Rain means 80% chance of Sun, right?    Needless to say, it rained the whole damn race and was in the low 60's. 

And for the Record:  You ARE NOT beating me outta the water again Hall!! 

If I go 34 mins on the swim and you beat me with a 33:59, then I'll be okay with it.  Just sayin'.

Me, mscotthall and (I believe) lunchbox are all driving out the morning of. 

T-minus 9 Days and a Wake-up!!

Ah Shhit.  I knew I did that 40-miler in the rain last weekend for a reason.

5 Days and a Wake-up!!

I'm going to just expect rain.  So mentally I've made up my mind, I am racing in the rain Sunday.  And if it turns out to be sunny, well then that'll be a nice surprise

Showers

High 71°F Precip 40%

Being the first time doing montauk, is the bike course well marked? 

BTW-  all this talk of rain is ridiculous.  I am planning on a beautiful sunny day.  Say it with me .....

Hmmmm... I can't remember a single Marker on the Bike last year.  Seriously.  I just remember it being two loops so after one loop I was like, "Okay, one more loop and we're done."  I honestly don't remember a single mile marker, whereas all the M-Dot races I always remember seeing Mile markers every 10 miles or so. 

Anyone else remember the bike mile markers?? 

And same thing with the run, I honestly don't remember any markers?  I also almost ended up in the Medical tent at last years race, so take this all with a five foot tall grain of salt.

Oh, the question was is it well marked out?   If so, the answer is a big YES.  You'd have to really try to get lost on this course.  Montauk only has what, two or three main roads and a handful of back streets.  The course is EXTREMELY well marked, I assure you if you're FOP, MOP or DFL you will not get lost on this course.  Well, unless your name is Charlie... then there is a chance  

Dunno?  One post here.  One post there.  Like drops falling into a bucket, they add up.
