The course is a swamp. It's not turning "suddenly dry."
And it is only going to get worse. They are currently calling for showers from around 3:00am until 9:00am, then again from 3:00pm-5:00pm. It may not be actively raining for any of the races, but the footing will be terrible. That first left turn at about 350m is going to be rough, especially for the 2K races due to their running velocities. I'm wondering how deep the puddle will be at about 1200m. Video time 5:47, race time 3:50
