not agree with you 100 %, i am defently very White and Danish, and i run 2 times Pattaya Maraton and one time Bangkok maraton, Bangkok was far over 30 dg when i was finishing, the good thing is the races was starting around 4.30 am, but i was first finish running about 8 am, so it was very warm, to say it honest, my wife (Thai) defently said that i am a crazy person and was very nervous so long i was running it first time, but she could see that i could handle the heats, she couldn't care less, the other 2 races
