Light rain has always given me a boost in marathon performance. It keeps core body temperature cool, so dehydration is minimized, and legs don't stiffen up. The only caveat is when high humidity is associated with it. (Then you're screwed.) But if the temps are 50-60 degrees, you should pop a great race. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
