Best to just embrace the conditions and go out. When the wind-chill
exceeds -40=B0F I tend to pay attention and stay within four miles of
home in case of injury. At least with a marathon in those cold antartic
conditions, there is support.

(1) The elite women usually get a separate (early) start. At least in NY,
that is true. You *could* have a motorcycle escort for a ~2:40 woman in
NY (as long as she started in the elite group) because of this.
(2) In NY (and for that matter, in most races), it is *very* sparse around
the 2:30 or so mark. The tier 1 elite women are faster than this. In NY, it
thickens up at around 2:50+.
