Independence Rhode Race
Race Day Weather
Warm start, high humidity
Starting at 67°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. High humidity (87%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
