Thanks so much roseabi and everyonei! Itβll be wonderful running Race for Life, and the turnout of runners and spectators is sure to be huge. Canβt wait! Hope itβs somewhat cooler on Sunday as my start time is 11am .... π³ π₯΅ πββοΈβοΈ
My race for life - admittedly only 5k - was in July last year, on a stinking hot day with an 11am start. It was all on grass or loose stone trails and everywhere was dry and dusty after no rain for weeks. The air was impossible - sift your oxygen out of the dry dust! At least we've had plenty of rain recently so the ground shouldn't be dusty. There. Feel better about it now? π€ Grab two bottles of water at the finish line just in case
That sounds like it was brutal Linda. It hasnβt filled me with much confidence! π Ours is on a mix of roads and grass (hopefully mowed nice and short π€π€) and Iβm going to take advantage of all water available, both for drinking and throwing over my head/down my back!
I *think* Sunday is supposed to be a little less hot and sunny. Hereβs hoping!
Good luck everyone, take it easy. I anticipate a very gentle toddle around my parkrun tomorrow in the heat - fortunate that it looks like most of our UK athletes are running on Sunday when it should be cooler.
Thanks everybody - fortunately my run is early on Sunday, so shouldn't be too βοΈβοΈβοΈ!
Whoo-hoo! Good luck everyone! But be careful out there itβs gonna be a scorcher! Soak those hats, slap on that sunscreen, slurp that water.. just make sure you give the π the respect it deserves.
***KLAXON*** There's a last minute pompom entry for homlyme ! Taking part in the Clumber Park 10K Race for Life on Sunday. Good luck homlyme! Have a super day and come back and tell us about it ASAP π
