I am running the marathon this year. Hoping for nice cool weather and a gentle breeze...
As of today, the forecast reckons:
Saturday: 23c high and 11kph winds 37kph gusts, high UV index
Sunday: 21c high, 4kph winds 11kph gusts, moderate UV index
This is from AccuWeather
I know it will change but I'm tapering and thought it'd be fun to track the weather.
is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsession?

Re: is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsessio
never too early! i would love some of the cooler temps they;re calling for this coming week, but right now i'm just hoping mother nature has gotten this crazy heat wave out of her system. at least we're getting some acclimation time!

Re: is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsessio
Nope, not too early!
Mid to high teens with a slight breeze would be just fine for me. I agree with scrumhalfgirl, at least we'll have some time to acclimate this year. I know I've been trying to get outside in the heat as much as possible the last couple of weeks.

Cooler temperatures than this past week would be nice. I try not to think about it too much because it will change between now and it is the one element of race day we can't control.

Sulphur that weekend too, and so far, hot and sunny 22 forecast! Hoping for some cooler temps and no rain myself.
Re: is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsessio
No, not too early. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was sweating through my run Sunday morning:(

Re: is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsessio
AccuWeather is now saying sunny and a high of 20 for Saturday. The Weather Network is saying sunny and 16. That latter forecast would be darn near perfect, especially if it clouded over with a slight breeze.

my weather network website is saying rainy and 21 (feels like 23) - we don't even have agreement within a single provider!

Re: is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsessio
I have been looking at the forecast everyday this week and it is constantly changing. Regardless of the weather I'll be wearing shorts and t-shirt so in the end it doesn't really matter.
Re: is it too early for Ottawa race weekend weather obsessio
Yeah, I guess at the end of the day I'l just show up and run regardless of what it's doing outside, LOL.
