Over twenty runners competed in the
handicap race organised on Moel Famau on Tuesday night. Runners set off at
intervals, slowest first. The course is 4.4 miles and 650 feet of climbing (and
descent) on the forest tracks.
Hazel and Alice had a real battle for
the lead. They were neck and neck when they passed me about 25 minutes into the
race. It was finally won by Hazel who edged ahead in the last few hundred
yards. Several other good runs too.
Huge thanks to Rup for timekeeping
and providing something for the midges to feed on. And to John Morris for
organising it. Sorting out the start times is a real challenge with so many
unknown factors, but it was very successful. I think there was about 4 minutes
from first finsiher to last.
Afterwards we went to the Colomendy
Arms in Cadole for well-earned drink. It was good to see new faces and runners
returning from injury. It was particularly good to see some people less familiar
with the trail running out there enjoying themselves.
