Update: You never know with Missouri weather in April. It looks like it will be perfect weather this weekend. We WILL DROP the requirement for the fleece, hat and waterproof pants for both long and short courses.
Update: Just a reminder, tick, chiggars and snakes are all out. I'm guessing the poison ivy won't be far behind. Plan accordingly.
