I ran in an ultra Saturday and it rained and rained and rained. I missed a cutoff time and was told I could no longer run at mile 28.8. I missed said cutoff by 10 minutes. Everytime I stopped to tie my shoe was a wasted minute, everytime I stopped to refill a water bottle was a wasted minute, etc. It sounds silly, but I'm depressed over having been told I couldn't finish the last 21.2 miles even though I was muddy, wet and miserable. I don't understand how the mind works.
