-8, what's that? Never experienced it (well maybe a few times as wind chill)... it's +38 here and set to knock the top off 40 by Tuesday. Ah, lovely!

I remember talking to an 'older' American quite some years back. He said that during WWII they flew a bunch of raw recruits from Hawaii to the Army training base where he worked in North Dakota. It was -10 degrees (F, probably but either way bloody cold) when they arrived and many of the recruits had never left Hawaii before. Several of them went straight into shock and had to be taken to the base hospital.

I would perhaps not go into shock but I can tell you that it would be physically (and mentally) IMPOSSIBLE for me to get to, let alone enter, a race in minus 8 degrees: I struggle to get moving in plus 8. And after a skinful and a fight with the coffee maker it wouldn't even enter my head to attempt it!

Sweder, you're amazing.

Eek
Run. Just run.
