Weather Forecast for Frederick Marathon

Posted by Steve Carton on Apr 28, 2008 9:24:44 AM

 

According the the Weather Underground, the forecast for Saturday for the Frederick Marathon is cool and rainy. I haven't run a marathon in the rain before, bit at least it will be cooler. 61 degrees with 60% humidity. Chance of thunderstorms. Could be worse. I guess the main thing to worry about will be chafing. Or maybe getting lost on the course. I guess our training run today will help prepare for it -- same basic forecast for today -- wet, with a chance of more wet.

 

 

 

Friday looks the be a gift day from the weather gods. Perhaps we'll get really lucky and the whole weather system will delay a day.  What a nice run that would be!

Hope your knees are holding up.

For chafing prevention in rainy weather, I recommend SportShield from TwoToms.

They last longer and applcation is easier than BodyGlide.

I found them at a local running shop.

I visited the Dr. this morning and got the knee-water drained and some cortisone injected. It feels better all ready. I'll try the SportShield later this summer during training for the next event. Don't like changing anything this close.
