Running a PR in the rain

As long as there is no lightning, I'll run in almost any rain. I don't have too much special gear but definitely wear a hat to help keep some of it right out of my face and eyes, and I have a jacket that isn't waterproof but pretty water resistant.

Do you think it will make me faster or slower though

the rain will have no effect on your performance if you dont let it. just stay layered and warm leading up to your race.

there are days for battling for place. and there are days for chasing a PR. there isn't really anything to "decide" here. it's either "on" or "not" when your event is up. good for a PR is usually a quick heat and good/fair weather. some days it's just really rainy/windy and you just battle. only silly children pout about those days not setting up for PRs. you play the ball where it lies and do your best under the conditions.

personally i think this whole discussion is silly. you run hard under whatever conditions. you fight for place every meet. but only an idiot is beating himself up for not doing his best ever in a 25 mph wind with rain.

also, depending how variable the conditions are, you could run before it rains, the rain could prove soft drizzle, it could rain then dry then rain, or it could come down all day. rather than worry about whether it's "on" for a record, how about do the professional thing and plan ahead on equipment. you know, the part you can control. bring stuff to stay dry, a jacket that sheds, some changes of clothes and shoes.

don't be a crybaby. week after or the week after that might be nice. and you still need to compete for position when it's crappy out. just don't be a silly dingus and think every week is a record setting.

I don't think that all 0.25 will fall at once and the temperature looks pretty good! I wouldn't worry about the rain, just make sure that you have decent spikes if possible and go out there and try to do even laps and have fun.

I got this,,...

I don't think he's likely to wear a hat in his race though, or a jacket for that matter! 0.25 inches of rain isn't very much, don't worry about it, and the temperature is fine for racing.
