Temperature **104 F** in Eugene on Sunday for Finals...

The super spikes allow you to run fast regardless of temperature right?

Reading the nonsense the owners of this site put out you would think so.

Well he grew up saying it AND all the scientists in his life around him apparently never corrected him, so it must be right!

They changed the schedule yesterday the women's 10000 will happen at 10am Saturday and mens 5000 will be at 10 am Sunday

Mods, can you change the title of this thread to read **111ºF**

Yes it will be dry, but these are Death Valley temperatures. And there's a reason it's called Death Valley. Even with schedule changes, the outlook is not good.

sorry yea when i posted it earlier in the week I was astounded by the forecast of 104 at the time. Soon after it jumped almost 10 degrees more

The changed the schedule 2 days ago the womens 10,000 will run at 10 a.m. Saturday and mens 5000 will run at 10 a.m. Sunday.

So dry you'll never know you're sweating profusely until it's too late.

How many of those nice elderly officials out there in 111’ will be sacrificed due to the monumental stupidity of usatf…

If it hits 113 that’s got to be a all time high for Eugene?

if these forecasts verify, large parts of the PNW will be beating their all-time record highs by several degrees.

But at least Usatf will have taken every possible precaution to keep the athletes/officials safe against the seriously deadly one in a bazillion chance of dying from covid, while they trot them

Out in 113’ to try and go make an Olympic team..

2 years ago the USATF held a youth meet at Widener and ran the 1500m boys in the afternoon despite their own weather tower showing 108 degrees on the track. We kept asking if they could move it to the A.M but instead they brought a hose out on the track to spray the kids as they were running by.

I’m hearing 115 for Sunday and Monday. This just doesn’t happen in Oregon. Today 106. Praying we don’t have fires.

Europe's calling. Can anyone suggest a weather channel/stations with official live temperatures covering Oregon or PNW?

Washington Post says highest temp ever recorded in Eugene is 108ºF.

My weather.com app is now saying 45ºC for Sunday, which is 113ºF.

It also says that the hottest time of the day in Eugene is 4-7 pm. Just in time for the 1500.

Women's 10K and Men's 5K should start at 7 am, not 10. Today the temperature rose 8ºC (about 14ºF) between 7 am and 10 am. Those 14º could be crucial in many runners' performances. And health.

The start of the 10K this morning at 10 should be around 85 and will finish around 88. Tomorrow at 10 the 5K will start at about 86 or 87 degrees. They should have sat down with NBC and said, "This unprecedented heat is dangerous for the athletes. The only way to safely conduct the meet is to move all events to the morning." Today they could have started the 20K race walks at 5, followed by the 10K at 7, and then have all the events follow accordingly. Tomorrow start the meet with the men's 5K at 6, and the meet would end by 10:30.

Why not just use the weather.com app? It's pretty accurate and updates often. Of course, it doesn't measure the temperature on the field at Hayward. That's going to be off the charts...
