LOL !!! Good to see Ya LaughingCat ..

First !!!

will get ya some models in a minute

Lib. You are reported.

If SWAGs are welcome I'll give you mine.

There will be a 21.39% chance of rain with cool temps.

My SWAGs for 12 days out are legendary by the way.

The GFS is the one that goes that far out only

YOU ARE GOING TO RUN 63 MILES??????

@Mark... thanks for reporting libgoon and thanks for your highly specific forecast. I'll take a 78.61% chance of fair weather, and cool temps will work well. I predict your forecast has a 57.31% chance of verifying.

@lib... I saw the animation from days 1 and 2, but it wouldn't let me click on the days 9-17 buttons (they were red). I probably didn't know what to click... I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

@sqwawk... I am going to "propel myself forward under my own power" for 63 miles. Probably not what most people would consider running. Somehow, I read about this 100K race called the Graveyard 100 and thought, "That sounds like a good idea." Like I said, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

.......WOW..LCat....have to admire that......!! Best of luck to ya........and dont I feel old....but..lol...I am....

Thanks Lib... I definitely would love the 300hr forecast to verify! Temps in the 50's, even overnight. Winds out of the NE which would be perfect since I am running from north to south (Nags Head to south end of Hatteras Island).

Thanks MSGal. I am feeling old myself

Your welcome ... when its 10 days out take a look at the Euro and the others when its 7 days out .

Have a great time on your run !!

I'm with Squawk cat!! Run 63 Miles? I wouldn't walk 63 miles

I wouldn't ride a bicycle 63 miles!!!!

Good Luck Cat. Just keep moving and you'll stay warm.

@FtMyersgal... I definitely won't run the entire time. I'll run the first 15 and stumble the last 48.

@Sqwawk... If I found a bicycle on mile 39, I would be tempted.

@Scooster... Thanks. It's funny that the event is getting close enough to look at those highly interesting (most worthless) models that do far out in time. In fact, I'm playing a game called "what's the forecast today". Yesterday, it looked like 40's for daytime AND nighttime which would be awesome. Haven't checked today yet.

Crap on a stick.. just realized I've been reading the wind direction incorrectly. A strong SW breeze instead of NE which would be a headwind... 35 knots, at that

LCAT .... How many hrs out is your run I am not seeing that wind @360-372 hrs ....

BUT GFS 384 hrs carries a major health warning ... as in believe it when you see it verify, it will change in near every run upto about 120hr out and hopefully if will be correct at that stage.

Run backwards.

@lib, LOL, I turned drama queen for a second... Meant to say 25kt (think it was on the 18Z Feb 25 run at 300 hr), but now looking much more relaxed w/ broad high pressure off the coast. I figured that models that far out are more suited for parlor games than anything else. I'm just stressing over the possibilities, but of course I realize that this is illogical.

As a wise man once said, "Everyone talks about the weather but no one ever does anything about it."

@ Pcola, please send me a schematic of this process or perhaps an instructional video of this method.

Where on the Outer Banks is your run? Anywhere near Kill Devil Hills?

My race starts just south of KDH in Nags Head and runs south to the end of Hatteras. I love the KDH area... Bob's Grill is my favorite place to eat... I'll be chowing down there on race morning (my run starts at 3 pm).

BTW, there is also a 100 MILE race that starts at 5 am up in Corolla and ends at the same place as our 100K. I'm not THAT crazy.

I love KDH area. Just awesome.
Now 100 Miles is suicide in my opinion. That's just not right!

Agreed! I'm like Sweet Brown... "ain't nobody got time for that".

She cracks me up too funny but very Cool !!

I love that video its too funny but I think she is cool !!

I think she is cool too!

You know that she is cashing in! She has an awesome commercial for a dentist.

Can't blame her for that! I say "You go girl"
