Leaving Austin for Berlin

...in just a few hours. The race starts on Sunday - we have a Thursday night layover in London along the way, in case of flight problems which seem to always happen these days.

The latest weather forecast is excellent after the recent German heatwave:
> Sunday Scattered Clouds. High: 69°F.
> Monday Scattered Clouds. High: 71°F.
> Tuesday Scattered Clouds. High: 75°F.
Sounds hopeful...but in my experience things often have a habit of deteriorating quickly. Raingear, gloves, hats and sunscreen are all packed.

Claire, Leah and I are all planning to post on this blog once we get underway. Here's the Baltic Run race website. Click the Ergebnisliste link for results once we get underway.
