About Should I Race?

A Little bit why I built this tool.

Get the time you deserve

Tired of racing into headwinds? Same.

Ever travelled three hours for an SAL or BAL meet… only to get slapped with a -2.0 headwind? Yeah, me too. Lots of times.

That’s why I built Should I Race. So you can stop wasting time, energy, and race fees on conditions you could’ve avoided.

I wanted to know in advance if it was worth the trip.

Is there going to be a tailwind? Or would you be better off staying home, saving our legs, and trying again next weekend?
