Observations from 2011 Umstead 100 Aid Station

I recently had the opportunity to work the main aid station at the Umstead 100. I was inspired and humbled but the many examples of courage I saw that night. I also learned more about the sport, the people who take part and the ones that support them. I've recorded some of my observations and lessons at http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Observations_from_2011_Umstead_100_Aid_Station
