Because if it's already hard to get off the couch, doing it while a downpour falls on you has its merit. The attendees showed that neither cold water nor mud stops a citizen of Ciudad Real eager to move. In the end, the worst part wasn't the downpour, but realizing that technical clothing isn't so technical when you've been soaked to the bone for half an hour.
