It's supposed to be cooler Sunday, and Oakland won't be that bad. Yes, water
is good, and I'm grateful we're not running at Atwater this weekend! Yikes!
I'm also grateful for the eight run groups rather than 4 or 5, which mean
you're working longer in the heat with fewer work groups, shorter with more.
Tires should work quite well! :)
