Despite an English paper due Sunday night, I took time out Friday, Saturday and Sunday to exercise my body. Friday I hiked Lutz canyon with Brenda. Saturday I completed the Bisbee 1000 Stairclimb. Sunday I hiked with Kevin and the dogs down Bear Creek. Now I'm exhausted because I was up every night getting homework done.
The Bisbee Stairclimb was much better organized this year than last. Staggered starts prevented bottlenecks at the stairs. The roads weren't as congested. There were no major lines anywhere.
However, there also didn't seem to be as many participants as last year. Perhaps the higher registration fee of $40-$70 scared people away. (I paid $50 in August and that that was ridiculous!) There is no longer any day-of registration, so there were less people at the last minute wanting to join.
I ran a better time this year, although I still need work up the stairs.\
