I just checked the forecast for Fort
Collins on Sunday morning and it is a beaut! Temps will range between
53* and 62* during the time I’ll be racing and the winds are going
to be all of 3mph.
Every race has its own inherent
obstacles. At the Rock
& Roll, it was crowds. At the Rock
Canyon, it was...well rocks. The Horsetooth Half has
that 9%
grade in the first two miles. But, if the forecast
holds, I won’t be dealing with 30mph wind gusts in my face during
the long flat stretch on the second half of the course. I won’t
have to watch my footing on ice or snow.
What it all ultimately means is that,
more so than not, it’s up to me. If I’m properly hydrated,
adequately nourished and keep my focus on my pacing, I’ve got the
opportunity for a pretty good day.
Race day is almost here. Let’s do
this!
