Portland Track Festival

Portland has about a 25 degree temperature swing every day. The high on Sunday will be 79 while the low will be 53. The meet has all of the distance events after sunset; they'll have great conditions.

Another fake Nike meet

Very insightful, thanks!

What makes it fake? Are paper people running instead of real people?

Back when I lived in the PNW, nobody would have ever complained about getting warmer weather. Times indeed have changed.

The urban heat island effect is real. Monitoring stations placed in Portland and most other cities the 70s and 80s are mostly out of compliance with original standards due to increased urbanization, but those whose income and narrative depends on rising numbers will insist on using the distorted data. Without objective monitoring, it is the "garbage in/garbage out" that drives these climate models which have failed in their predictions for fifty years.

I remember closing my 2 mile race in :54 in 106 degree heat (after running the mile an hour earlier) but of course the finishing time was a bit slow since in that heat (at least the air was dry) I decided to sandbag it the first 7 laps.

You counted the time you were a sperm in your 69 years, I presume.

honestly just shut the f*CK up. about everything.

People are fighting for their lives in Ukraine and the Levant, and Portland snowflakes are bellyaching about 80 degrees temps in June. These are literally snowflakes.

Global war and a healthy climate are two important issues. Caring about one doesn't mean we can't care about the other one.

And it is actually getting hotter (compared to when we were kids). That isn't even a debate.

And if you want to know the truth, I think there a lot of people like myself who are concerned that it if hot up here, it is going to be miserable in the southern parts of the hemisphere. It will be a nightmare if they all try to move up here because it is 130° in their home countries. Doesn't everyone on the Right think about that?

I thought that was their number one issue? Drought and record temperatures will put millions more people on the path towards migration. Are you planning on calling me a snowflake for not wanting people to go through that?

Here is a conservative report about it:

The right is far too shortsighted to comprehend the rational basis of your post. They're stupid. It used to be OK, but now that it affects everyone's lives, it's problematic.

The steeples and the 10's out in Gresham on Saturday will be fine - they start at 8pm.

The real issue in Sunday as the hottest part of the day in Portland is actually between 6 and 7pm. I know this sounds weird but it is - even if the air temp as per the forecast says it isn't. The ground just seems to absorb heat all day and radiate out at this time. So the elite 1500's and 5000's might be okay as they start at 7, but it's still going to be a warm one.

Emily Infeld can't catch a break with these warm races.

Are you sure you can read? The comment in the top right says the avg for the last 30 years was 15 days. Btw, how long have you been an adult? Please do not include the years you were still living at home after you graduated from college.

People in the Ukraine are living off American taxpayers. F them.

They are laying down their lives defending Western Democracy, using our leftover munitions. I wonder how many tax dollars were wasted on your paltry education.

F ignorance..

It's supposed to be mid to low 70s during the bulk of races on Sunday evening. Not sure what you're talking about?

Also, this spring has not been nice/warm weather (for the most part) in the Portland.
