Wet Bulb Conditions Force Hell's Gate Closing At Wichita Falls Hotter 'N Hell 100

Due to the outer world being dangerously way too HOT, the Hotter 'N Hell Hundred Medical Director has shut down the full 100-mile race, shortening the race to 100K 

Something called "Wet Bulb" conditions made doing something strenuous for a long period of time to be too dangerous.

The outer world temperature is over 100. The humidity is high.

Earlier this month when the temperature during the final weeks of August was predicted to be under 100 I was planning on going to the MPEC (Multi-Purpose Event Center), where the race ends, and have fun being surrounded by all the hoopla.

But, with the temperature well over 100, when the days of the event arrived, I opted to stay in air-conditioned comfort.

Since I have been in Wichita Falls I have only been to the race finale once. On that day the temperature was warm, in the low 90s, but it was cloudy. It was still way too HOT.
