The Handicap
Everybody writes down the time they think they will take. Closest to their own guess wins, so the slowest man out there can take it.

How to run it
Whatever the lads is already doing — a race, a walk, a climb, a route.
The rule
- Before the start, everybody writes down the time they think they will take.
- No watches on the way round. None. That is the whole game.
- Closest to their own prediction takes it, whatever the actual times were.
Worth knowing
- The fastest man out there has no advantage at all, which is the point.
- Anybody walking is in exactly the same competition as anybody running.
- Somebody will be out by four seconds and never stop talking about it.
What you need
Nothing. The people in the room and a phone between you.
Before the day
Collect the predictions before anybody sees a start list, and do not let anybody change one afterwards.
