Club 5k handicap

It's been a while since I last did a handicap event, but I do remember doing this course a few years ago. It leaves the bottom Famau car park by the track climb towards Cilcain, a hard effort in itself, before a very fast descent curves round to the base of the main track. After this, I had forgotten how long the next climb is - and it now has an awkward rolling surface of fairly large stones. I started with Jez and Gerard, and finished between them in mid-pack, which is where I almost always finish in handicaps! 9th from 21 in 20.33, the 4th fastest time. Not too bad given the 180m elevation and awkward surface.
