Subject: RE: Cooler and humid or warmer and dry?? I hope you have a great race. Alas, humidity does matter, especially later in the race when core temp rises and your body is trying to stay cool. IMO the real danger is that the difficulty of cooling doesn't really strike until abou the same time that other issues begin to come to the fore (ie., around mile 18-22). You know from your training that humidity affects your pace. You would be wise to respect the lessons learned from training. I know you were hoping to go out at around 6:50 pace. You might ned to adjust that based you your experience training in the humidity. Of course it is disappointing, but it happens. You can't control the weather, but you can control how wisely you respond to it. Edited by Experior 2011-09-09 10:42 PM
