Does anyone have any data, or speculation, on how much difference rain can make to race (and/or training) speeds? It's not obvious to me, I can find a spot of drizzle to be quite relaxing and cooling, but a proper downpour (inc heavy wet shoes and running through puddles) must surely be quite a hindrance.

Though avoiding puddles, going through slippy slidey mud and over slithery wooden bridges/planks can slow one down somewhat Generally, I like running in the rain as long as I'm warm enough.
