Race Day Rain?

I have been quite fortunate, as I've never been rained on during an event. Today could be my first. I am glad that this is a training run.... I can only imagine how upsetting it would be for someone who has made the race a priority.

I have a girlfriend (hi Juli) who did an Ironman in the pouring rain..... Yuck.

I've run in the rain before.... sometimes it's refreshing, and sometimes not. I've sported plastic bags, and shower caps. To me, there is nothing worse than being wet and cold. I need to invest in one of these......










If it would stay in place, I would totally wear one. Would you?

Gotta run.

Abso-freakin'-lutely! I love crazy outfits and this would not only be zany, but functional!

I ran a half marathon one year in a tropical storm. We had to wade through 4.5 feet of water to get to the start line. Then they cut the course short by 3 miles because they were under 8 feet of water. Not my best race, but definitely my most memorable.

I think I had one of these a few years ago - I think they sell them at the dollar store - I'll be on the lookout for some for the future. Good Luck today!!!

I would use the umbrella for work. It would help keep my camera dry. :) As for wearing during a race. No.
