Cold Hot Dog Running in the Clouds

Hi,
Hot Dog here!

Yesterday, I ran 10k in the mountain in an official trail run race in 1:42:36, with the average heart rate 151 bpm, with the average running pace 9:42 per kilometer, spending 1,104 kilocalories.
It was chilly in the rain. I was worried for suffering hypothermia, so I wore two more wear plus a raincoat.
I thought I was going to be "Cold Hot Dog" that was distasteful. Haha.
However, I became "hot" dog again while running, so I took off the raincoat and a sport jacket.

The scenery of mountains would have been terrific beyond my imagination if there had been no fog.
However, ironically, we were surrounded by the deep fog, and I couldn't see any beautiful scenery there, and I hardly saw runners ahead of me, with the potential fear of getting course-out and lost in the mountain.
I didn't know if it was actually foggy, or I was in the misty rain. Or I was just in the clouds because the altitude of that place was very high, but not that high as I noticed thin air.

The course was much more difficult than I had expected. The uphills and downhills were so steep, very wet, and slippy that I had to walk instead of run.
Originally I started running for my health, but if I fell to die or got severely injured, my attempt turned out in vain completely.
I knew well from my recent actual experience that I tended to fall quite easily, so I knew I must be very careful.

As a result, I'm here again!

雲の中を走る冷めたホットドッグ

やあ、皆さん、ホットドッグです。

昨日、公式の10キロの山岳部を走るトレイルラン競技に出場して、1時間42分36秒で完走しました。平均心拍数は151bpmで、平均速度はキロ当たり9分42秒で、カロリー消費は1104キロカロリーでした。
雨の中冷たくて、低体温症になりそうだったのでいつもより2枚多く服を着た上にレインコートを着て走りました。
「冷めてしまったホットドッグ」になりそうで、それはとても「まずい」と思いました。(笑)
けど走り始めると、「ホット」なドッグに再びなってきたので、レインコートとスポーツジャケットを脱いで走りました。

霧がでてなかったならこの山岳地帯の想像を絶する絶景が楽しめたはずでしたが、残念ながら、深い霧に包まれ絶景は何も見えなかったのみならず、前を走るランナーも見失いがちになり、コースアウトして失格になったり、迷子になって路頭に迷うのではないかと心配でした。
そもそも、それが本当に霧なのか、霧雨の中にいるのか、それとも、非常に高い山にいるので、雲の中にいるだけなのかわかりませんでした。でも高い山といってもエベレストほどではないわけで、空気が薄いとは感じませんでした。

コースは予測していたよりはるかに険しく難しいコースでした。上り坂と下り坂の傾斜が半端なく、しかも濡れて滑りやすくなっていて、走るのではなくて歩かなければなりませんでした。
そもそも健康のためにランニングを始めたのに、転倒して死んでしまったり、ひどい怪我をするなら、本末転倒になってしまいます。最近の実際の自分の経験から、自分がいかに転びやすいかがわかっていたので、十二分に注意する必要があるとわかっていました。

その結果、再びここに投稿することができました。

** This sentence is very long. I would personally end the first sentence here, and start a second sentence here.

It was chilly out in the rain.

could also say "because of"

I was worried forabout suffering (from) hypothermia, so I wore two more wearextra layers plus a raincoat.

I thought I was going to be a "Cold Hot" Dog"... that was distastefula very dry joke.

However, I became a "hot" dog again while running, so I took off themy raincoat and a sport jacket.

In English, articles of clothing are normally used with possessive pronouns — my, his, her, etc

However, ironically, we were surrounded by thewe were in the midst of a deep fog, and I couldn't see any of the beautiful scenery there, and I hardly saw the runners ahead of me, with the potential fear of getting course-out andso I was worried about potentially going off course and getting lost in the mountain.

The uphills and downhills were so steep, very wet, and slippery that I (often) had to walk instead of run.

Originally I started running for my health, but if I fewere to fall to dieath or goet severely injured, my attempt turned out in vainefforts would end up completely in vain.

You're suggesting a hypothetical situation here, so you need to use a conditional tense. It's the same as "if I were rich, I would ___"

In the US, (not sure about the UK) kilocalories is just called calories.

I was worried forI'd suffering from hypothermia, so I wore two more wearlayers plus a raincoat.

In causal speech, people just say "I'm worried I'd get hypothermia"

I thought I was going to be "Cold Hot Dog," that was distastefulwhich would not taste good.

distasteful is basically like 趣味悪い

Haha.

However, I became "hot" dog again while running, so I took off the raincoat and a sports jacket.

The grammar is right but this sentence is a bit more parallel so would sound smoother.

Or I was just inmaybe it was the clouds because the altitude of that place was very high, but not thatso high asthat I noticed the air thin airning.

The "or maybe" change is totally optionally, but it would transition a little better from the previous sentence.

specifically for calories/kilocalories, we say "burn" usually

It was chilly in the rain.

I was worried forabout suffering from hypothermia, so I wore two more wearlayers plus a raincoat.

for any illness or medical condition, we "suffer from X"
for clothes, if you mean number of jackets/pants/shirts or other clothes, we refer to them as "layers"

I thought I was going to be a "Cold Hot Dog" that was distasteful.

Not sure what you mean but make sure to have articles for countable nouns like Dog, it's still considered a noun even if it's in a nickname since you put "that" after it which makes it a noun being described

Haha.

article

The scenery of mountains would have been terrific beyond my imagination if there had been no fog.

However, ironically, we were surrounded by the deep fog, and I couldn't see any beautiful scenery there, and I hardly saw any runners ahead of me, with the fear of potential fear of getting ly going off-course-out and lost in the mountain.

there is no fog we are currently talking about or referencing so using "the" is not correct in this case. you have choices, the nuance is different:
"we were surrounded by deep fog" just means you were surrounded
"we were surrounded by a deep fog" there is an extra focus on the fog as a single entity, like you're talking about the entire fog as you say this

"i hardly saw ANY runners" need to include the any for stuff you don't see or don't have. you got this correct with the scenery, it's okay to say it twice :)

correct term is off-course meaning to stay away from the path or get lost. no such thing as "course-out."
we "go off-course" not "get off-course" (confusing yes i'm sure, it's okay, it's one of the harder things about English to really know by heart all of the proper "pairs")

your fear is of "potentially going off-course." potentially means "maybe" or "a chance of." so it's not correct to say you have a "potential fear of going off-course" since you are afraid of going off-course. a "potential fear" means you are "maybe afraid"

I didn't know if it was actually foggy, or if I was just in the misty rain.

Or I was just in the clouds because the altitude of that place was very high, but not that high as I noticed thin air.

The course was much more difficult than I had expected.

The uphills and downhills were so steep, very wet, and slippery that I had to walk instead of run.

Originally I started running for my health, but if I fell to diemy death or got severely injured, my attempt would have turned out in vain completely.

"to fall to [possessive pronoun e.g. my, his, her, their, your] death" is a stock phrase in English, it's like a whole verb by itself. being familiar with these is one of the big steps to becoming very fluent, you're on your way there ;)

you need to say "would have turned out" because it did not happen yet, it's a hypothetical situation.

no need for the completely, "in vain" already means it was for nothing

I knew well from my recent actual experience that I tended to fall quite easily, so I knew I musthad to be very careful.

i "tend' to fall = present tense since you're talking about a personality trait or habit that you currently have up until now
i "had to be" very careful because you were talking about being careful in the past, but it's already done. "i must be very careful" means it's happening now.

As a result, I'm here again!

I enjoy mountain climbing too. I can relate to slippery paths and being scared of falling. I actually fell several times while on my last climb since the rocks were wet from the rain ;( good thing it wasn't on the cliffside. I saved my butt by grabbing onto a tree trunk while falling haha

However, ironically, we were surrounded by the deepick fog, and I couldn't see any of the beautiful scenery there, and I hardly saw runners ahead of me, with the potential fear. It was easy to lose sight of the runners ahead of me. Besides, I was worried that I would run off getting course-out andthe course and end up getting lost in the mountain.

I did some rewriting to improve readability:
