Subject: RE: Pac Crest is going to be cold - now what? Sorry. It is a bummer. I train in the area a fair amount and know there's still time for weather to change. There's still some hope. Hopefully they make a call fairly fast about the bike if it doesn't look good. We'll see... As an alternate, you might think about the Rev3 Portland race July 8th. It'll be warmer and considerably closer to the conditions you're used to training in.. I haven't done it but heard good things. You might want to check it out as a back up. Hot Runner - 2012-06-20 6:14 PM Read the forecast and I am just sick at heart. This was supposed to be my first HIM and I have spent six months training for it solo in Saigon in hellish heat and traffic. Would not be happy with doing the Oly but I guess if there is no choice....... Probably too late to enter another HIM at this point (only in the US till August 4). Don't know if there's any chance they could reroute the bike to lower altitudes--it would still be a challenging race with the cold swim and valley conditions. |
