After so many years of hearing about great distance runs "despite the bad weather," I have to guess that cold and wet are actually GOOD for distance runners. Does that make any sense?

I guess the "collegiate record" has to be outdoors, but remember that Sonia O'Sullivan ran faster indoors. Here's the all-time collegiate top-3:
15:17.28i Sonia O’Sullivan' (Vill) 1/27/91
15:23.03 Kathy Hayes (Or) 5/ 4/85
15:23.94 Lauren Fleshman (Stan) 4/17/03

Yes, up to a point. Seems like cold and dry would be ideal... Sopping wet and splashing through deep puddles, like Radcliffe at the Euro Champs last year, is not ideal.

Can someone please tell me why this meet isn't televised? I'd sure love to see it. And I'm guessing people outside of Texas and Iowa would love to see the Texas and Drake Relays, as well."Run fast and keep turning left."
