p.s. the cold really takes a toll on you. I was ravenous afterwards, I think the body has to work much more to keep you warm. And I needed a long nap.



Today is IM, it's raining, people (even pros) have pulled out with hypothermia - shivering uncontrollably. I hope they don't suffer too much out there. Imagine running a loooong time in soaked shoes, what blisters and stuff you get. And fueling will be a challenge - you're at the limit of what your intestine can absorb anyway, so how do you fuel extra because it's cold?
