In short: loved it
In full: I gave it the respect it deserves and did it as much justice as I could possibly manage. The event is a mad mixture of two extremes, beautiful scenery and brutality under-foot. No other race I have done encapsulates the spirit of running in such a way that this one does. Cheers for the fantastic support and organisation.

In short: Less shingle, less mud on a beautiful day so why was it harder than previous years? Was a couple of extra sneaky miles added?
In full: Love this race. After 9 runs I still apply the same day as the entry forms are available.

In short: Fantastic
In full: Race Day +3 and I still hurting but I am so glad I had a go. Six of us crossed the line together as we decided this was a one for all and all for one event, not competitive. The spectator support is amazing. Not everyone kept their shoes in the bog though!
