A bit concerning: the wind and rain and the possibility of lightning (thunderstorms were forecasted).
We drove to the race site (about a 20-minute drive). I was hoping the rain and wind would stop by the time we got there. It did not.
I sat in the car, watching people struggle even walking in the strong winds and dodging rain. It did not look fun. At all.
I kept watching. I debated whether or not this would be enjoyable. I decided it wouldn’t be. So, we drove home. But, not before stopping once or twice for me to think about it some more.
Many other runners dealt with the conditions. And, it even stopped raining early in the race (so I hear). The winds continued, but people said it was still a really enjoyable race.
I’m regretting not running the race now. I don’t have the sweet medal in my hands, and I should (but I’m a wimp).
