Here's what I'm learning:
- Dress for temperature, not for rain.
- Wear a water-resistant jacket. Not water proof. Water proof with retain sweat / moisture.
- Dress in layers. Layer closest to your body should be a technical fabric
- Wear a hat with a brim to keep the rain off your face.
- Sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the rain
- Wear gloves
- Wear something reflective. Tape.
- While you are waiting to start a race, wear a garbage bag with holes cut out for arms and neck. Then throw it away when the race starts.
- Wear old sneakers while you are waiting. Change to your good, dry racing sneakers just before the race starts.
- Put cell phones, ipods, mp3 players in zip loc baggies.
- Put balled up newspaper in your sneakers after the race to help keep their form and to help them dry out.
- In the fall, watch out for wet leaves
I think that's all I've come across. Anything else I should be thinking of?
