Decisions, decisions...

Weather forcast predicts that it will be ~45 deg when the race starts on Sunday. High for the day is expected to be 74deg. It should be sunny and no wind. I expect it to be chilly at the start, but warm up quickly as the sun comes up over the mountains.

With that in mind, my plan is to wear shorts, with a sleeveless shirt under long sleeves. And a hat. And probably cheap gloves for the start. I'll also bring my fuel belt so that I have my own accelerade handy to drink when I need it.

One of the ladies from the run club who isn't running will be near the turn point. I can toss the long sleeves to her at that point.

I need you to help me choose which sleeveless and which shorts! Everything else has been determined. I've got it narrowed down to three choices.

Note: The grey shirt doesn't show up well in the photos, so keep in mind that it's the one I'm wearing in my profile pic.

Option 1 - Grey on top and bottom:


Option 2 - Grey on top, Orange on bottom:


Option 3 - Orange on top, grey on bottom:



What do you think? Which should I wear?

  1. Hmmm, this is a tough one. I definitely think you should go for either orange on top OR on the bottom so you'll stand out more. I'm really digging those orange shorts so that's my vote!!

    Good luck!

  10. 45f, whats that 7C?
    Thats too warm for me to even think about wearing a hat and gloves unless there's a wind chill involved.

    Mind you I do seem to get very hot while running.

  18. I like the orange top. People you know can see you easier and I think bright colors look better in race photos.

    Good luck on your race!!

  19. Race day outfit is ALWAYS the hardest part! I vote orange either way, and go comfort from there - go color!

  21. Orange top, grey bottom - if you went the opposite combination your friends would be looking for your orange bottom going by!

  22. i am awful with picking...seriously I wear a lot of layers for most folks.

    so I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK

  23. Humm if it's going to get that hot I'd be tempted with the vest shirt plus arm warmers if you have a pair? That way you can roll the arms down when it gets warm rather then phaffing with taking off a top... just a thought...

    Either way ENJOY, HAVE FUN, and RUN RUN RUN!!

    Good luck!

  26. My wife's vote is for the 3rd option. She does a pretty good job telling me when match (and more importantly, when I don't).

    Enjoy!

  27. LOL at all the comments. Maybe your all time high number of comments all because you asked us what to wear! hahahaha

    No matter what, have fun!
