Bandera 100K. Probably the most miserable trail conditions I've ever experienced. Ice, damp cold, and quite amazing mud made the decision to call it quits after one loop pretty easy. This one was all about desire, not physical ability. Setting aside the conditions, I felt reasonably strong. But my head just couldn't get around going back out for what would have surely been a 10+ hour death slog through the cold rain, slick rocks, and slop/glop.
