Comparing 2003 and 2004 Cap10Ks

Looks like the weather for tomorrow's Cap10K is going to be nice. It may be similar to the weather at the 2003 race. In that race the temperature at 8:53am was 50F with 43% humidity with clear skies. You can't get much better than that. Compare that to the 2004 race with temperature of 71F and 83% humidity. How much does that affect the times? Here's a comparision for the men:

Year	under 40m	40 to 50m	50 to 60m	over 60m	Temp/Hum
2004	92 (3%)	631 (20%)	1330 (43%)	1052 (34%)	71/83%
2003	134 (4%)	875 (28%)	1165 (38%)	906 (29%)	50/43%

And here's a comparison for the women:

Year	under 40m	40 to 50m	50 to 60m	over 60m	Temp/Hum
2004	3 (0%)	139 (6%)	701 (31%)	1424 (63%)	71/83%
2003	14 (1%)	226 (10%)	735 (33%)	1255 (56%)	50/43%

In 2004, only 23% of the men and 6% of the women did a sub-50 run. In 2003, 32% men and 11% of the women did it. I think it's safe to say the weather had a big impact.

Here are all the detailed 2003 Austin Capitol 10K race stats.
