It’s official. Snow is now in the forecast for tomorrow’s Leadville Trail 100 running race.
Snow showers likely and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning…then rain showers likely and slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Snow accumulation around 1 inch. Highs 45 to 53. Southwest winds up to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.
Because there will be a mix of snow and rain, it’s going to be very tough keeping my clothing dry, especially critical items like gloves.
Also, racing in cold weather makes me want food with higher fat content. Typically I would do this race with just Hammer Gel and a protein-supplement. Now I plan on having raw cookie dough on hand.
The Race Medical check in is underway now. The race starts with an early morning shotgun blast at 4 AM.
