I went to my race expo today and look what I got in my goody bag!
Ha ha..not really. The Brooks tech shirt was part of the race, but the rest is what I couldn't live without. I know that I'm going to need a new pair of shoes soon, so I took advantage of a 20% off coupon and got the new Brooks ST 4 Racers in yellow! And, the blue water bottle was a free gift...how cool is that? I also snagged a pair of Yaktrax for $15! Woohoo!
Now, here's a quick clothing question for you. The temp at the start of my race is supposed to be in the low 50s. Would you run in shorts/skirt or capris? Guys, I know you don't wear capris, but what would you wear?

shorts
Nice swag! I love the Brooks Launch, they are my Favorite!
I would wear capris, that's just me.
I would either wear capris or shorts. When I did the Fargo Half Marathon a couple years ago, it was 45 degrees at the start and I was wearing shorts and a tank. I just get so hot so I would rather start chilled!
Love the yellow shoes!! I would definitely go w/ shorts or a skirt. You get so much hotter in races than in training...just take a shirt to toss after you warm up. Good luck!!
Awesome things! I'd wear shorts or a running skirt.
Clothing is always a big unknown. I am going to be wearing capris but I will be out there much longer then you and my legs look better covered up :)
I asked about dropping clothes along the route but not sure I got an answer. I might wear a longer shirt if it is cold in the morning and drop it at an aid station. I have plenty of old shirts for that type of thing.
Good luck tomorrow.
Hi Aimee,
I like all of your cool stuff girl:) Thank God for Yaktrax...I didn't know what I was missing until I purchased a pair of those babies:)
I would wear a running skirt or shorts. I always end up heating up and wish that I would of not dressed so warm:) Good luck!
I would go for the shorts/skirt. Capris could get to hot once your body warms up
shorts.
and for the rest of your day/schwag. very cool. sooo excited for you tomorrow! you're sleeping as I'm posting, but hopefully you'll read these comments b4 your race!
capris
Have fun tomorrow - can't wait to read about it and see pics!
I would wear shorts, but I get hot.
Good luck at the race!
Shorts and a short sleeve T jersey. Just remember how much body heat you create while running.
So I being from Phoenix had to look up what Yaktrax were after your post, cool beans! :) Love you!
Wow, I guess I should have drove up to the expo. It looks like I missed some great swag and sales! I hope that you had a great race. The weather was perfect!
You totally had me! I was like I need to sign up for a race with awesome swag like that. Awesome deals though!
Yak tracks for $15!!!! Nice!!!
I have the ST4, I like them, but for me, anything over a 10k, they put a hurt on my legs.
