Worst race weather I've ran in was a Valentine's Day 5k when it was about -10F. Just awful and miserable.

A bad race here ...Running in the heat is the worst. A bad race here is the fault of the conditions, though, not you. Would that help mentally?<br /><br />My worst race weather was definitely this past summer in South Dakota, when race day temps climbed to 100 (81* at the 6 a.m. start). I had trained so hard for that race, but I can't handle that heat and missed the mile 70 cut off (bike, obviously, not running). So disappointing.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-6820789853295350972016-12-15T23:46:05.379-06:002016-12-15T23:46:05.379-06:00Well, yesterday we ran 8 miles in 6 degree temps, ...Well, yesterday we ran 8 miles in 6 degree temps, if that makes you feel any better. And we had to stop for a moose in the trail. Standing around in those kinds of temps when you're barely dressed is not fun, lol. So cold temps aren't always ideal either. P.S. You should schedule a marathon up here in Alaska. The summer temps are ideal for running. Good luck in your race.Cinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319692437720914477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-69758206139344712722016-12-15T21:19:50.601-06:002016-12-15T21:19:50.601-06:00Oh, the weather has changed.

I would definitely put this under "reasons I could never live in the south" - it's 10 degrees and windy here and I think I'd prefer that for a race over 76 and humid!<br /><br />Worst race weather, Boston 2012 no contest (I think that's the year you're talking about too, right?). Ugh, absolute death. I will never forget having some spectator ask me if I wanted a grape popsicle and deliriously screaming OH MY GOD YES before grabbing it out of her hands hahaha. I think if the weather is ever forecast to be 80+ for a marathon again, I'm out. Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00701483453296295755noreply@blogger.com
