Summer Handicap

This was the first actual running of this club event in order to boost numbers and to give a wee change to the routine.There were eight runners and we all gave an estimated time for a 5k before the start and as I had been injured for over 2 months and am still being treated I gave a very conservative 26 min estimate which turned out happily for me to be a bit off the mark, and I finished ahead of the pack for the first ever time in nearly 10 years, and with a gammy leg too, but mostly everyone ran very near to their estimate with Kieran being only 1 second out.

The event was a success with everyone enjoying a good workout, thanks to Duncan for organsing and timing and to Ben for assisting.  

Round 2 will be in Dawsolm Park in around 4 weeks time
