T-Minus 3 Days: I'm Melting

3.  How will the heat impact running the course in Miami?



So far the team has only run in colder weather races.  The major concern is typically around keeping warm in between water obstacles.  Miami seems like it will present a much different challenge in terms of weather.  Patrick has become our resident meteorologist tracking the conditions in a series of posts that you can find here.  The temperatures do not appear to be in the 80's on Saturday as originally forecasted.  It will still be considerably warmer than we are used to.  I don't think it will be warm enough for us to jump in the Arctic Enema to cool off.  So far, the closest I have come to worrying about heat is around the fire obstacle in Wintergreen when I couldn’t move anymore.  I am not sure what, if any, challenge the temperatures and humidity in Miami will bring.  We’ll be prepared to get out on the course early and take on the obstacles both days no matter the weather.
