5K race: warm up; about 2 miles and strides; got already wet in the warm up; warming up in the rain ... no comments. Race: Very cold and rainy; was not used to this cold rain (7 Celsius); snow would have been better, because the amount of whats pooring down is less during snowing but in a way running under these conditions it makes you feel invincible. I could have worn a t shirt; would have been the same at least for the 5k; other people ran the 10 k in a t shirt; every thing got super wet; the streets were flooded and it was cold That is a way to start into the new year. Hm maybe this gives me a hint on my marathon training coming up; For the next race i will be mentally prepared and will know that the conditions are not that bad as they look; you will get eventually warm when you run anyway; will try some cream on my skin to protect from the rain
