Jeremy and Sara after the Sylamore 50KMost of us have been checking the forecast for days now but in case we may have missed it Ryan Dexter just sent out the email below to the Ultralist about the expected conditions for the race this weekend:
"Similar to last year - I think the weather is going to cause this race to become an epic adventure yet again.
- There is a flash flood warning in effect in Pekin, IL until early Friday morning with rain in excess of 3 inches possible.
- Friday - showers possible/cloudy - High: 57 (wind chill 47) Low: 35 (wind chill 21)
- Saturday - showers possible/cloudy - High 42 (wind chill 31) Low: 29 (wind chill 15)"
My friend, Jeremy Bolt (also running the 100 mile race and pictured above with Sara Kniffen), sent this proverb to me some months back:
Traveler : What kind of weather are we going to have today?
Shepherd : The kind of weather I like.
Traveler : How do you know it will be the kind of weather you like?
Shepherd : Having found out, sir, that I cannot always get what I like, I have learnt always to like what I get. So I am quite sure we will have the kind of weather I like.
My hope is to have this same attitude Saturday!
All the best,
Carey

Have a great "race", Carey! I know you'll run smart. I'll be tracking the race on the website and saying prayer or two. Can't wait to read your race report.
Thanks David! Good seeing you, if only for a moment, at the marathon this weekend.
Carey
