The Sunday Forecast – a bit of wind on the Cape

My weather alert just went off. The alert was for Saturday , but it lead me to look at the updated forecast for Sunday.

Looks like the temps will be about what I expected – mid 40s, but the wind is something new –> sustained winds from the west @ 20mph which will bring the feel of the temperature down to the mid 30s. We’ll have some gusts around 40mph. Not necessarily ideal conditions, but it could be a lot worse.

We’ll have to deal with the wind during the middle part of the course. From miles 5-15 we’ll be running into it. Once we hit 15, there are a good amount of trees to provide some coverage. The wind should be @ our backs (but off the water) for miles 22 – 25.

In comparison, the forecast for tomorrow is for not only heavy winds, but torrential rain and thunderstorms, too. When offered that as an alternative, I won’t complain too much about dealing with some wind.
