Campbell Park - Monthly Handicap
Today:
Race: Distance - 6 km in 26' 54" at ave 4' 29" per km
Warm up & cool down: Distance - 7.95 km in 46' 21"
Weather: sunny, temp range 18-23 degrees, humidity 78% down to 50%, wind calm
Race: Started group: 36, finish place: 26th
Week: 13.95 kms, Jan & Year: 429.8 km
Monthly handicap No 167 and the last one for me until August, so I raced hard. Nothing to lose, may be go back one start group, but I did get a lift after the wet race day in November.
Really enjoyed today, I had Michelle on my tail all the way back, trying to stay in front and giving her some one to chase and catch.
She did pass me with a hundred metres to go, she has a good sprint finish. I passed both Strewth & Ewen near the 4 km mark, obviously tired from yesterday's long run ( benefit of the doubt).
Some may say they didn't like the change in the course, it wasn't our preferred choice, but every one races over the same terrain.

But at least I ran all the way even if it was at granny pace! When I passed Ewen he was walking up the hill!! I will miss you at the handicaps over the next few months - I'm always listening out for when you pass me!!

The course was fine, even if it caused me to walk. I note your time was quicker than Speedygeoff's - I think you wore him out yesterday.
Who do I give the beers to to go forward to group 18?
