Today I ran my local Oxford Day 10k for my Israeli triathlete friend Bari, who was unable to run hers due to the death of her mother-in-law. So Bari, credit yourself with another 10k in your race log.
Unfortunately the humidity really knocked Bari for a loop today and she was only able to slog around the course in a sweaty dripping 1:05:15 (10:31 min/mile pace). Those desert-dwellers just can't take it, can they? They're so evaporation-dependent. Here on the Eastern Shore we laugh at evaporation.

ha ha! nice work! now let's see if I can match you w/ pike's peek 10k tomorrow. magic 8 ball says, "not bloody likely."
I can hear your laugh all the way over here on the left coast.
Congratulations on a great run for a friend.
Yes I am-! Evaporation dependent! That's certainly one I haven't thought of..
Let's see-we can counter with "you easterners sure are humidity-dependent!" :-)
Sorry about your friend's loss, but very nice of you to get her through the race...
Congrats on getting Bari's 10K for her. I'd have been happy with that time!
