It is in the FRA fixture list as a cat B race, which I have to say had me puzzled until I got there. How could a 4.5 mile race on the South Downs be a cat B? Easy, they make you climb it from bottom to top 3 times! Still its all part of the great comeback, even though on the third climb I doubted my sanity. The winner did 33 something, our Rebecca 46 and I took 54, which means I have cut the gap between us!
A final thought: there are some very bad descenders down here . I was never any good at descending when I was fit and I cant have improved, but I still managed to overtake several runners on the descents. Very unusual indeed.
