I remember how the cold feels now. We've had such a long run of dry weather and warm temperatures here in the south east. In fact, it hasn't rained in 58 days. 2016 races in south have featured hard packed and dusty trails.

The previous years always guaranteed slippery and muddy trails for training and OCR events. In fact, most obstacles were more difficult than intended because of extra mud and heavier rain drenched sand bags.

Now the cold is returning and hopefully some rain. I've gotten used to warm and dry, but this week' lower temperatures are bringing some reminders. Some things I remember; burning lungs, stinging hands, slower times, and shorter run distance.
