Kit and pacing

What it means

  • Good racing weather

    Around 6°C is close to ideal for a fast time. Shorts and a vest are enough once you're moving; bring a throwaway layer for the wait in the start pen.

  • It can be cold

    The coolest morning here dropped to -3°C. Pack gloves and a throwaway layer even if the forecast looks kind.

  • The weather varies a lot

    Race mornings here have ranged by 9°C from year to year. Pack for both, and settle your kit and pacing from the forecast in the last few days.

General guidance from past years' numbers. Check the forecast in race week.
