Newbie's first Enduro - Wet weather clothing question
I'll keep my newbie question brief.
I'm doing my first ever mini-Enduro, the 50km Capital Punishment in two weeks in ACT.
I'm curious as to what I should be wear on my top, especially if it's raining. I've got a 'proper' Bike T-Shirt. But if it's p*ssing it down, will I need waterproofs?
I've done long runs in the rain before and that's fine, but I'm budgeting being on the bike for the best part of 5 hours at least.
What's the 'norm'? I want to find that happy middle ground between being precious and being airlifted off the mountain with hypothermia!

MagicShine?
As there's been some talk about this recently, thought I'd post up these images of a MagicShine a guy at work just picked up from DX.
As you can see, it came with a US plug and has not actually got any branding at all on the box (pictures are back/front).
Please excuse the phone-cam pictures.
100km dirt works classic
Training was consistent although my intensity was too high, too early, peaked then burnt out 4 weeks before. Motivation was at all time low until just before. Must vary intensity during build up.
First 50km was great. Then back siezed up at feed station and was in the pain bubble for the next 15-20km. Crossed the bridge though and conquered the nasty climb just after at 70km+ mark. Overall quite happy with my first 100km
