On my last effort to break the 60-second barrier, I failed.  The careful reader of this blog is not used to descriptions of failure falling from my fingertips; I try to find the happiest silver lining in every situation.  But, ho!  If this is my biggest failure of the nearest months, I’m fine.



As I’ve said before, the psychological element is quite important.  When I saw the stain on the landing between floors 13 and 14, and I knew that there were 2.5 flights to go, my legs inexplicably felt a letdown.  Did my total speed fall?  I’m not sure—I often feel the concrete fill my legs, but I have made a decent time on those occasions.
