An extreme climate to pack for. As<b> Jenn</b>&nbsp;mentioned, the hot weather at this time of year in very short lived when the mornings and nights are cold. You barely notice it! Make sure you have sufficiently warm attire and have a great and safe trip.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967473 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 02:02:49 +0000 cjh 1967473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, thanks, I do tend to forget that. We’re running the Eerie Erie. My main hope is to avoid total defeat by the elevation. I’ve had mixed results running there on past visits, sometimes easy and sometimes very hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967405 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 21:08:39 +0000 Jenn 1967405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m on the front range. Unless your 10k is in the late afternoon, I don’t think you need to plan for super warm race weather. In autumn, even the 80° days have 40° (or colder) mornings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967360 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 19:28:01 +0000 Sal 1967360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is hard to think that far in advance in my opinion - I think your plan is sensible.</p> <p>If you are in your daughters home doing laundry should be easy.&nbsp; What a range of temps for the race - it is important to have the right gear so I can identify with this dilemma!!&nbsp; I have done a few races and always take a couple sets tops in case or hot or cold weather:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967259 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 11:26:40 +0000 krishnidoux 1967259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so funny I just woke up from a dream in which I had this task you describe! In my dream I remember deciding to do the car travel part in a roomy, wrinkle free parachute dress with leggings (if that can be of any help??? lol).</p> <p>Dreams aside, I would advise you not to count on your quick return home for your dressy, important outfit. Just saying, out of personal experience. What I would do is send myself the dressy outfit by mail to the adress where I'd be staying when I would need it, or pack an alternative that would be accpetable to wear but also that would take up less space.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967255 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 10:52:18 +0000 Jessikams 1967255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Complex! But if you forget something you can always buy a new one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967144 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 23:12:47 +0000 rachylou 1967144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks nice and concise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967127 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 21:46:34 +0000 Cardiff girl 1967127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh that’s some temperature range that you have to cater for.Happy travels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-trip-travel-tale#post-1967124 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 21:30:17 +0000 cjh 1967124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m going on two trips back to back so I need to be extra organized about packing. The first trip is on the train, so I try to be very streamlined. The second will be by car, so number of bags is more flexible.</p> <p>It seems my best option is to pack enough up front, make sure I launder while visiting my daughter so (most) everything is clean when I make my quick stop at home, and then grab my dressy outfits and maybe an extra set of jeans and top, which I will have prepared in a garment bag. That way I won’t have any question about forgetting something, or unpacking-repacking during my hour long home stop.</p> <p>Here is my travel capsule beginning. Photo 1 is what I plan to wear traveling. Black jeans, blush l.s. tee, gray patterned wool zip cardigan, with socks and scarf. I’ll wear black NB city tennies. This outfit has to be layered for unpredictable temperatures, soft and stretchy and dirt resistant for spending the night on the train.</p> <p>Photo 2 is my additional items planned for 6 days, from the top: Green jeans, dark blue jeans, dark abstract patterned fringed scarf, burgundy cardigan, black/white patterned cardigan, gray tee, navy/black tee, green/cream tee, burgundy print tee.</p> <p>I’ll also take a coat with hat and gloves, low cut hiking shoes, and pretty much an all season assortment of running clothes, as she and I are running a 10K race and Colorado front range weather is crazy. It could be 25 degrees and snowy, or 85 and blazing sun, and has been both there within the last two weeks. If I didn’t need to reserve the space for running shoes, clothes and jackets, it might be easy to just throw in enough outfits that I wouldn’t have to wash.</p> <p>Enough blabbering, thanks for listening! </p>
