brief race report -> 3 laps for 75km total handicap in 18 minute group (limit at 27)

Six of us worked well enough for 2 of 3 laps
I was dropped once each lap (recovered twice) and missed half my turns on the second lap
On lap 3 there were 4 of us left and I was feeling good (our group was following the lead car)
Halfway through I experienced back-pain which sapped my leg strength
Tried getting back on again but the pain wouldn't go away.
Scratch caught me with about 4km to go. Two of my group podiumed and I was left saying "if only".

Cheers Craig
