I think I would have finished higher in the AG field than normal in conditions like they had today. Heat definitely hinders my performance more than cold and I have few problems, physically or mentally, training in wet and cold conditions.

One of the years I was in Kona to help cover the race, I was training hard for IM Florida. On the day I planned to run maybe 13 miles it was one of those rare monsoon-like days in Kona and the rain felt so good that I ended up running the entire marathon course. I'm sure that rain felt way better than the rain in Boston today.
