Tomorrow's Austin Marathon and Last Year's Stats
There's going to be one big difference between tomorrow's Freescale Austin Marathon and last year's marathon: the weather.
The temperature at last year's marathon was way above average. The temperature at the start of the race as measured at the airport was 62°F with 96% humidity. At around 10:00am the temperature was 68°F and 84% humidity. At the race, I think it was even warmer since I remember the sun coming out of the clouds around 9:00am. The high for that day was 80°F. (weatherunderground.com.)
Tomorrow is predicted to be frigid. The lows are predicted to be in the upper 20s. The highs are only predicted to reach the upper 30s. It'll be cloudy with winds of around 10mph and there'll be a slight chance of freezing drizzle.
If the race had been run last Thursday, it would have brought back memories of last year. The high Thursday was 83°F and the low was 68°F. As is typical for Texas, the weather in February can be either warm or very cold.
I started this road race stats blog with the 2005 Freescale Marathon. Here's the link to my February 2005 posts, most of which are related to the Freescale Marathon and Half-Marathon. Through last year, I made several improvements in the display of the running statistics. So I thought it would be useful to post the 2005 Marathon stats in this new format. Next week, I'll run the program on tomorrow's results and compare the two. It'll be interesting to see how the weather affected the times.
