The person who helped me recall many of the details of the 1979 cross country season was my coach, Craig Hayward. We both got a laugh looking at old photos of the season because he was only about five years older than me.  Coach had this to say about The Race Against Time after he read it.

“It is said sport is a microcosm of life. The author did a wonderful job of demonstrating such with the tale he threads in this book. It is not often, the sport of cross country running becomes a storyline for a book. The author uses his excellent creative writing and storytelling skills to develop intersecting plotlines that will hold the attention of both the familiar and unfamiliar to the sport of cross country. Running is but part of the setting and not the real story of this book. The author blends the characters’ personalities with their day-to-day struggles of balancing life’s successes and failures, while navigating the mysteries of young love. It is a story of perseverance that conveys many of life’s truths.”
