I agree, it was a tough call. Da*med if you do, da*med if you don't.
Even when the conditions are excellent, there is still a state of dehydration. Based on what I read, I thought it was a prudent decision.
I tried to train in all types of conditions, since you never know what
is going to happen. Its a gamble, pure and simple. Like Mo said, there
are plenty of other marathons.
