So when I was typing that title, I realized I didn't know how to spell witches. Witchs'? Because it is, indeed, possessive? Or, witches? Because that's what doesn't get a little red spell check line?
Either way, it's freaking cold here in Gilford, New Hampshire. Yesterday I wore shorts and a T-shirt...and was perfectly comfortable, even a little hot at times. I was warm last night in my tent and sleeping bag and I slept really well.
But this morning? We're talking in the low 50s here, and there is no sun. And it's windy.
And so I really feel for the people doing the short course today, but even more so...I REALLY hope it's a little warmer out tomorrow. Cause my fingers can barely type due to frostbite (yeah, wireless at a campsite; hilarious, eh?).
Or, if it can't be warmer, then PLEASE NO WIND. I don't do well with the wind. Unless it's helping me. But unless the gods are with you 100%, it's virtually impossible for the wind to be helping you both ways. And I'd rather no wind than having to fight it half the time.
But alas. I have no control. And so I'm just crossing my fingers and toes and knotting my hair and hoping hoping hoping that the wet-suit and long sleeve biking shirt I have are going to be enough. Because I'm not really prepared for anything else.
If it doesn't seem to be getting any better, I'll get something to wear at the expo today. But I'd rather not because my bank account isn't really happy with the summer of no work.
IN ANY CASE. Cross those fingers for me for a slightly warmer day tomorrow, and maybe wish me a little luck too if you have time. 70.3 miles isn't anything to joke about and I'm a little nervous; I'm gonna need some help out there...

Good luck! And here is to a mild warm front passing through New England tomorrow!
After getting whisked to the ambulance because I wasn't sweating anymore when I finished my last race, I would take the cold any day!
(and my guess would be "witch's")
Witch's, dear. Take it from a teacher. You'll need help from someone else on the weather sitch though.
I'm saving my weather wishes just now for other purposes, but I do wish you a great race!
Hope you rock! Good luck!
Good luck- hope you have weather like I had (and hope your race went better than mine did too)...
definitely witch's.. there's only one of her
Glad to see you got it done!

Hope you enjoyed your day.
I was going to wish you well but based on brent's comment, you cranked it out- congrats! Hope the weather cooperated for you.
