Most memorable performance(s) and why?

The Boliermaker... I had been camping and not running for the week before the race. I also had not been running much for the couple of months before but I was visiting in-laws and they said it was a really fun race. It was a great race, and even with low amount of training and poor sleeping conditions I ran very fast! (for me)
