Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 (Page 6)

Well, this is just ridiculous.  It's 52 degrees at nearly 10 PM.  I am screwed!

Another beautiful, warm, Minnesota morning.  Sigh.  I will have to run outside tonight, even if for no points. 

just checking since not sure how its being played and want to be consistent- 40 for biking and 35 for running are the bottom meaning north of that for temps means no points i.e. this AM 38 mins @ 37 degrees, 7mph winds= goose egg, correct?

Like Bill said, I like using wunderground.com.  After you locate the weather station closest to you, you can check the history by the day -- I think it's in 6 minute increments.  After a run or ride I'll check the website to figure out what the wind & temps were during it since the temperature changes quickly when the sun comes up or the clouds move in. 

If I'm feeling too lazy to do that I'll take the temp at the start and temp and the end and use the median temp for the whole workout.  Probably same difference.

Because of vast amounts of pressure that was heaped upon me by one mr. Jszat, I will be in for my first year!  bummer that this weeks runs are all in the afternoon tho so will probably end my first week with a big donut for points...........

Wow, wunderground.com is great by the way. I didn't realize how easy it would be to get historical data.  We're planning a bike trip to Switzerland next late Spring and I was worried about temps.  At least now I know what it was last year at the same time.  Wicked cool.

Oh my gosh, that trip is crazy!  I would cry if I was faced with that...  Fortunately our trip will be quite flat, it's around a bunch of lakes   No off-road stuff either.  But it will be, undoubtedly, beautiful.  We will save the trips up into the Alps for a bus tour.
