[Highfill, Floyd] Of course I don't know if you were fed a line, I'm only saying that looking at results from distances races (say 10K through Marathon) [Highfill, Floyd] there did not seem to be any really fast times turned in when temperatures were in the 40's or 50's. Notable times

Malmo - As I said, temperatures can vary greatly over the course of a marathon. I think you will find that reasonably fast times have been run when the temperature climbed into the low 70's during the course of the race. How long they were in that range is almost impossible to determine just
