Progress is good...even if it occurs in small increments. Last night's annual Cache to Game xc race in Jackson was an indicator that things are heading in the right direction. The cool thing is that the course is exactly the same each year so you can truly compare your times.
This year I finished in 47:15 and squeaked into the top 20 overall in a field of about 70 racers. My previous best was 50:45.
Congrats to Amanda Carey for setting a new women's course record - 44:34!
Just seconds before the start Amanda rolls over to me and says, "Ok Byers, pin it until you blow up...and then keep going...it'll be over before you know it!" Greatness.
Along those lines, the faster you finish the quicker the pain is over :-)
