Recess didn't end in elementary school: May 2013
http://lancefun.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Recess didn't end in elementary school. The play times of Lance Byrd. Wednesday, May 8, 2013. Ever since the beat-down I suffered last year (2012) at the Maximus Michaux 20 miler and Shenandoah 100. I made it my goal in 2013 to improve my mountain bike skills and endurance. I love tough/epic courses even though they aren't my strength. For nutrition I continue to go with Cerasport. For hydration and Probar. Nutrition. I carry my spare tube, levers, and pump with my Backcountry Research - Awesome Strap.

I wouldn't have won the Monster Cross non-elite race. On Sunday if I didn't push back my fears and take his advice. I had questions, he had answers and I'm sharing:.
