Rain = less support on the course.

What happened to your "not spending any more time with me?":) Just on the drugs?

I agree with the course support, but I bet the runners would love that rain cooling them down.

If you mean live on TV you will be disappointed as there will be no coverage on RTE this year.

A quick shower might be cooling. A downpour leads to chafing and a world of pain in the shower afterwards. Dry for me please

Yes, I was thinking of light continuous rain. Not drizzle. Light and steady rain.

It feels like Christmas Eve..... except everything is sorted already and there's nothing left to do but sit on the couch.

Your clothes/shoes will get heavier when saturated with water....and if you are a walker/jogger then hypothermia could be a problem as you are out there for a log time....but id prefere cold & wet to hot & sunny
