After Body Gliding (or using whatever) do it again and make sure your toes and everything are covered. I Body Glided what I thought was ALL of my feet and missed a bit of a pinky. So much for those white-ish shoes, I came in with a big rust colored patch on them. Also take care to Body Glide any possible chafing areas with your clothes because that will rub a bit worse than usual too.
Do you have a way to ditch your rain jacket? Depending on the rain, I think you'll find it won't be that bad and those temps aren't too terrible. I suppose you could find a way to crumple it in your Camelbak or something.
One last thing, that has nothing to do with preparation and maybe you've experience it riding, is it is MUCH harder to get clothes back on if you have to use the porta-potty. I was wearing run tights and it was next to impossible to pull them up as quickly as I wanted to and even then I ran the final distance with them being slightly askew and not all that comfortable.
What race are you running?
