Hi, Grog, glad to hear there's not likely to be snow. I went and converted 15C (59F), and now I'm jealous! Are you sure Vancouver's not south of Chicago? I got all excited when I heard it was 42F (6C) out this morning, and started to run without a jacket--NO!--went back for a jacket! Still, warmer than the 26F (3C) when I went for a run in the snow on Monday.

OK. My experience: Dry off as much as you can, especially your hair. Put dry tech fabric clothes over whatever you can't change out of. Have gloves and good warm socks. And have a blast!

I've written before about how I did a tri last May and didn't follow my own advice--one of the most miserable, cold, wet bike rides of my life. I changed into my warm clothes for the run--almost didn't need them for that, because I heat up so much when I run. I'd say, if it's really 15C, that warm, you might sweat too much in anything waterproof for the run. You might want to wear a vented, waterproof jacket for the ride.

Looking forward to the report! Lise
