RISKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RUNNERS PARTICIPATING IN COLD AND WET CONDITIONS:
Combined with the rain, we are concerned that predicted weather conditions will increase the runners' risks for a condition called hypothermia. As with any athletic competition, as a runner you are assuming the risks inherent with participation. It is your responsibility to be informed about the risks associated with running in the aforementioned conditions, and the risks of injury or illness will increase with these predicted conditions.

Awwww feel the tri-blogger love?? You'll be warm in knowing that we're all watching you and are proud that you're running this fine race. Weather is just a state of mind...you will be fine once you get going..no worries!!!
I hear that rain and cold run right off the back of a runner who has a noble purpose.
