What I wore...



Ewen just asked what I wore. That was adifficult decision that took some agonizing. In the lead up I'd been planning to try and stick with shorts and my Namban singlet and Cool Running cap. But the weather meant that the singlet alone would be pure folly. I probably needed something a bit more technical, but just used my old faithfull Climacool grey long sleeve top. Gloves of course (thanks Jim!) and...NOT the CR cap. That was another victim of the weather. The peak of the CR cap has become rather floppy and I didn't like it's chances of standing up to the rain. That grey one is an old favourite but the back adjuster strap had broken. My poor wife was pressed into helping me get it operational about ten minutes before I had to leave the house. All in all, I wasn't especially cold once I was moving and I find it hard to see any major changes I'd make to this. So I don't think we have our culprit there. I do wonder though how much toll it took being cold and wet for half an hour before the start.

So you had time to wave to the cheer squad in that bottom photo! Can't have been taking it seriously ;)

Notice you're in the minority, not wearing a raincoat, or do the Japanese not want to get their fancy running gear wet?

Yep, definitely making a fashion statement there Steve.
