A word about statistics

I keep statistics when I hike and climb, and I report them here.  The only purpose of these numbers is to show myself that I'm growing, never to compare with others.  At 50 plus, most people pass me on the trail.  But if my times improve, I know I'm closer to being able to do the long, high routes that I enjoy.

And when I have a bad day, I can look back at my numbers and know that it's only one day.

I advise; look for the personal best.  It won't come every time, but on average, over the course of months, it will come.
