Hi ho the gangs all here

            Very difficult today.  I really struggled with the leg ups.  My gut was hurting.  I missed being allowed to run only 6 flights of stairs by 43 one-hundredths of a second.  You can’t even imagine .43 seconds.  It’s gone before you can organize your thoughts.
The sprint area was more than twice as full as any other time I’ve been there, so my dodging around people may have been the problem.  I may have lost .43 sec. by thinking about touching the button on my watch several steps before the end.

            The 16 flights were no fun either…especially the dude on the 4^th floor smoking—probably the worst bit of pollution imaginable. 

            The day started good, though.  I had a lesson with 4 kids ages 7-10.  Eighty three dollars in 90 minutes.
