And yes, it was cold! Especially Wed and Thu morning, standing still on a corner station doesn't help of course. With the forecast in hand, we went a trift store on Monday and bought a couple of long sleeves and sweatshirts for a handful of dollars. I'll be doing more of that for future events, saves a bunch - both financially and logistically.

The elevations do burn at Road Atlanta. The sheer distance can be a struggle at Sebring. Both are great!
Good call on the thrift store shirts.
