The PCB forecast for race day is high of 85 with isolated thunderstorms and 30% chance of precipitation. Fortunately, this seems to be the standard weather forecast for the florida panhandle because no one can predict the weather more than a day or two out. Weather systems move/form/break up quickly down there and a thunderstorm or rain shower can come and go quickly.
I also saw where the water temperature at PCB is 79, which would make wetsuits illegal during the swim. Wetsuits are not allowed if the water is warmer than 78 degrees (or if water temp is 78 degrees or warmer, not sure which). This could be either good and bad. My wetsuit felt comfortable when I tried it on, but I have never swam in it. They "allegedly" make you faster and provide pretty substantial flotation. I would probably be more comfortable swimming without a wetsuit, but 1.2 miles is a long way and I could use all the help I can get. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. I'll just wait and see.
Nothing substantive this morning, I have a hearing in another county in a bit.
*** Last night I went for an easy 30 minute jog. Felt good. Tonight I have an easy 1 hour bike ride. I'm really enjoying this taper thing.
Later.
