Aren't those summer like conditions for a Dane?
Yeah, I just moved back from Spain a few months ago and had completely forgotten just how sh**tty Danish weather can be. This friday I was out riding wearing long sleeve jersey, today it's been raining 8 hours straight. Back in May at the Copenhagen Marathon, what was expected to become a warm day ended in heavy rain for those finishing slower than 3:30 and lots had to be treated for hypothermia.
It's the combination of cold - or cool - weather, wind and rain that worries me, in particular the rain. I plan to pack a dry towel and socks for both T1 and T2. I consider wearing long sleeve jersey for the ride, and pack a rain-jersey too. Maybe a dry shirt for the run. Toe covers sounds like a good idea. I guess I won't PR in transition :P
