Me thinks you have approached the day before the race perfectly -- with humour. <I>Runner's World's <B>Best and Worst Dressed</B></I> was my favourite.<BR/><BR/>But, seriously, that would be a bit of a dilemma. At 45°, I wear shorts and a long-sleeved technical shirt and maybe light gloves (probably not, though, if I knew the temp would go up). Even at 56°, though, I think I could stand the long-sleeved tech shirt, so that's probably what I would do.<BR/><BR/>Here's a potential start for your Pre-race ballad:<BR/><BR/>'Twas the day before a race<BR/>And what was on my mind?<BR/>If <I>Runner's World</I> is there,<BR/>Will they be unkind?<BR/><BR/>If my shirt doesn't match<BR/>Or I wear the wrong thing<BR/>Will my picture on the cover<BR/>Make me cry or sing?<BR/><BR/>If I humiliate my family<BR/>And I make them think,<BR/>"What was he doing?",<BR/>Will they make a big stink?<BR/><BR/>(OK, you'll have to take it from there.)Bob Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251531486621495599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105538256649413942.post-24657471936966660002009-03-13T10:11:00.000-06:002009-03-13T10:11:00.000-06:00Here's my tips.

Or you could use old tube socks to pull up your arms before the race and then yank off and toss out once you get warm.Jess https://www.blogger.com/profile/04319493454447862771noreply@blogger.com
