Good Morning!
My first 70.3 half-distance race is on Sunday and Tropical Storm Nate-soon to be Hurricane Nate- decided to swoop in here and gate crash Mississippi this weekend. As of now, the race is still on, but I'm concerned about racing in the wind and rain. According to the forecast predicted, we will be on the west side of the storm (west is best) and the storm shouldn't be near Brandon until 1pm.
Can anyone offer any helpful tips and pointers on racing in the wind and rain? I should be on the run leg by the time it gets bad, but would love any advice in this situation. Should I cover my bike when I leave transition 2? Do I lessen the air in the tires? Thank you in advance:)
