1) Cold!

2) Seeing a female runner trip on slate stones over a canal levee and then fall eight feet to the bottom of the canal (no water). Damn she landed hard.

3) Not being able to eat my Power Bar because it was too hard (cold).

4) Meeting a 0500 starter who had a bloody gash and egg sized bump on his head from a fall on the AT. He informed us that his left hand was broken also. He was still running.

5) Did I say it was cold.

6) Giving one of my water bottles to another 0500 starter who blew out a disc in his back and looked bad. Found an ambulance and directed the driver to him. Hope he does not look inside that water bottle I've had for a dozen years.

7) Running the last 15 miles with Mike. (Reston Runner from Mass.) Had a great conversation.

8) Getting a post run massage.

9) Finding my brother with a finisher's medal after I thought he DNF'ed.

10) It was really cold.
