Maybe. Also maybe not. Too soon to say what weather will be, as it could be hot, or if a cool front makes its way down to central FL, it could be a bit cooler. Count on humid. We won't really know until a few days out, so for now, it's best to have options in mind.Sorry if this seems a silly question but is it generally cool enough at the start to take some throw away clothes, I’m starting to think about packing and wondered if I should bother taking them or not, TIA xx
Definitely not a silly question. Some years throwaway clothes are a necessity. I have visited the thrift stores before many races to get my throwaways. As to what happens to the discarded clothes, cast members collect and launder it. It is then donated to charity. Many tons of clothing are collected.Sorry if this seems a silly question but is it generally cool enough at the start to take some throw away clothes, I’m starting to think about packing and wondered if I should bother taking them or not, TIA xx

Thank you, I never mind throwing the clothes away as it’s lovely it all gets donated to good causes, and always get things in the sales so not expensive at all!

You may actually be a Floridian...I KNOW it is completely ridiculous to check the weather in FLORIDA this far out but does that stop me? NOPE!!

I'm about 100 miles west of WDW and weather this week has been stupid. This morning, it was cold enough for my heat to kick on... but it's going up to 77* later, so AC will be on. Feels Like was 35 at my house Wed morning - actual temps in the mid-80s this weekend. I'm checking the weather daily to figure out what to wear!
I think that it depends on where you are coming in from. I like in the hinterlands and it is still very cold here. There is a zero percent chance that I will need throw away clothes at the start because of cold temps in FL for this one. Jan-Feb races? Maybe. April - no chance.Sorry if this seems a silly question but is it generally cool enough at the start to take some throw away clothes, I’m starting to think about packing and wondered if I should bother taking them or not, TIA xx

I always take an inexpensive fleece blanket for all races. That way, if it’s cool, I can wrap it around my shoulders to help stay warm; if not, I’ll fold it up to have something soft to sit on while waiting in the corrals.Sorry if this seems a silly question but is it generally cool enough at the start to take some throw away clothes, I’m starting to think about packing and wondered if I should bother taking them or not, TIA xx

The Weather in Canada has not been cooperating for a run outside. All of my training miles have been on a treadmill thus far. They are calling for warmer weather this weekend (-6 Celsius) and no snow, so I'm hoping to get a decent road run in. I just keep reminding myself that as long as I'm doing something I should be ok.

Oh no! Rest and recover - the training you've already done will suffice, but priority needs to be healing now. Hang in there!I can't believe I've come down with the flu this time of year! So much for my training. I just hope I feel well enough by race day.
