Our hard winter training is really starting to produce some good results, as evidenced by the improvement in runners competing at today's Veterans' monthly handicap, this time at the hardest of courses, Mount Taylor.
Kevin did best with a bronze in the Frylink. And in the longer race, three runners in the top ten proved all is well in the training group.
I think Cathy Newman may be in line for special congrats after finishing third in her Bush Marathon race yesterday - so I heard - then doubling up to finish 11th today in the handicap - I will have to find yesterday's results and see!
How am I going? Despite me shuffling down the steeper hills painfully slowly, my time today is the best I have ever run on this, my least favourite, course. So it's all good.
