-----
Ran with Wind/rain Resistant jacket for first time and debated wheteher to run with jacket of an extra under armour. With dark/wet/windy conditions it felt pretty cold and decided to try to stay dry. Thought may get overheated but did not and may have stay relatively dry first 1/2 race but "Water Resistancy" wears off somewhere between 5 and 9.3 miles and finished soaking wet. Good thing had change of clothes and when got home decided to weigh the race clothes (4.4 lbs)!!
