Current weather prediction 71 high 51 low - rain

Eerily similar to the former AR setting.

Forecast currently: 67 degrees at the start, with a dew point of 66 degrees (gross) and winds out of the SE at 12mph.

weather.com says scattered thunderstorms. I'm praying that doesn't happen! If worse comes to worst I hope they just delay it instead of cancel, like Disney.

Think he will still run with the weather conditions?

No, you are a moron. Rupp hasn't run any of these times, and never will, making this totally irrelevant. Also these conversion equivalents make no sense...12:49 5k/26:42 10k are absolutely not equivalent to the mile/basically the marathon WR. At least have a good look at this crap before you post it.

I agree that they are not equivalent to the 1500-3k, but those 5k/10k times are probably equivalent to the marathon WR because the marathon WR is weak relative to the other records

They're bringing new aerodynamical Nike Dry Hats (TM) with huge brims to switch out every three miles so he can stay dry and tilt them the right way to catch or minimize wind. Rain not a problem! Wind actually helps! Nike! Nike! Nike!

Looks like Canada national champ is in the race as well.

Deer Alberto Salazar......

Has their been any progress in reaching out to Alberto, Rupp, or NOP?

I emailed Ricky Simms on Monday asking for details about rabbits and whether Rupp is going for a specific time. I have not yet heard back from him.

Reportedly, Rupp entered into the Houston Half Marathon in approximately two weeks. No details on pacers. Predictions?

Cool, thanks for the notice. Once we get official confirmation he's in it, I predict between 60-61 with 20% confidence, between 59-63 with 50% confidence, outside of those ranges at 10%, and DNF/DNS 40%.

Probably should have given DNS/DNF greater than 40% probability... Then again he doesn't pull out of road races often.

I find it funny that I'm bitching to my friends about how comparatively hot a race is going to be that I'm not even sure I will make it to the start of because my flight could be grounded by a pending snowstorm.
