Hey - I didn't say it was
cold in there - it just wasn't toasty.
In all seriousness, I don't regret forking over that 100.00 for the tent. I freely admit to being a wimp in that type of weather. (I'm from Texas after all - we deal more with heat vs cold.) And I'll probably pay for the tent again this year - just incase Jan 2011 has more crazy weather.
Kuddos to all of you that stood in the cold for a couple of hours before the race began. I left the tent at 5:15 that morning to walk to the corrals. I was in Corral B and was in the first wave to start at 5:40. In just that 30 minutes (with a chunk of it walking out to the corrals) my feet froze so bad that I honestly couldn't feel them for the first two miles of the race. It felt as if I was running on air.
