I got up at 7:30am, it was raining fairly heavily at that time, but I got myself ready regardless and by the time I went to get on the bus at 9:15 the rain had slowed to just a spit. I arrived ready for the race at 10:30, plenty of time to pick up my number for the 11:20 start. By this time the rain had stopped completely. However, getting off the tram I noticed there wasn't the numbers of people around you would normally expect when you head to a race. Arriving to where the start was meant to be, all I found was a poster for the race with a small notice saying it had been postponed due to 'rain'. I had to laugh.
Three weeks earlier I was in Benidorm with water above my ankles and the race was on, in San Juan yesterday it wasn't raining and there was just a bit of moisture on the road. What was more surprising was that this was a charity race with participants expected to bring food and toys to donate, there wasn't even anyone there to accept donations. It was a complete waste of time!
That's life I suppose. Hopefully i'll have more luck for my next races.
