Hey!
So I'm running the half in 2017. I know Florida (even in the winter) is hot for a lot of people, but I'm from Puerto Rico, so winter Orlando weather is actually quite cold for me. Very cold, at times actually. I know the weather in Orlando fluctuates like crazy, but I want to plan as though it'll be cold (for reference, anything below... let's say 60, so I don't sound too pathetic probably closer to anything below 70, honestly, is what I consider cold) since one of those weird heat waves in January would be no different than running at home for me.
My concern is really just how the change in climate might affect me. I know what people tend to say is that pace will usually go down when running in cooler weather, I'm just concerned that'll be cancelled out by how unused to the chill my body might be. So if there's anyone that lives somewhere that's... between 80 - 90 year round more or less (that's what I'm dealing with here in PR) and they could share their experience, that'd be amazing!
If not, could someone perhaps share how they dress for runs when it's a little cooler out. I know I'll heat up once I start running (and I plan on bringing a disposable jacket for the corral wait) but I dress to run in crazy heat, so I think even with warming up, I'd still be cold with what I wear down here in PR!
Thanks so much
