Noquemanon Marathon Solda Wax Forecast
Looks like a classic UP weather day for a classic UP race. The forecast that I can get here in Bend looks like this:
Friday overnight low of -5F. I could be pretty windy. Race time temp in Ishpeming at around 0F, blowing snow. Humidity around 80%. High for the day about 6F, maybe a balmy 9 in Marquette. You at the race should monitor conditions. I will give two reccommendations. Adjust to conditions.
1. For new natural snow in these cold conditions crayon on a layer of HC28; apply a couple layers of SOLDA F15 Blue scraped and brushed. Apply a layer of SOLDA F40 Green then a layer of SOLDA S32 scraped and brushed. Finish with SOLDA HP06.
2. If it is drier and the course has a lot of wind blown natural snow, start with SOLDA HC28 crayoned on and covered with a couple layers of SOLDA F15 Blue. Cover this with SOLDA S20. This works well in East slope of Rockies on dry snow. Could be too humid in MI for this, Check humidity today and tonight and forecast.
Kick wax: You all can probably guess. I am not there. I would try some Rode Alaska or Green Special; maybe Swix VR30.
