- The race began before sunup
- Due to weather conditions, the wheeled participations elected to race the Rothman 8k, instead
- It was too cold for the starter horn (so the starter counted down over the microphone instead, “3, 2, 1….”
- You couldn’t feel your hands, feet, or lips…before you’d even taken a single step
- You could have clothed a homeless shelter in the amount of layers people shed along the race route
- The water station cups had shards of ice floating in them
- Instead of cheering you on, the staff members along the race route were warning you about black ice
- The sweat on people’s bodies turned to frost
- The post-race beverage of choice was hot chicken broth (Gatorade, eat your heart out)
- You walked back to your hotel wrapped in a sheet of aluminum foil to stay warm…and so did everyone else
