In short: Hard
In full: Organization was really fine. However some uphill are simply too steep when muddy, expecially one. But most important the steeper downhill was dangerous.

In short: Hard but good fun
In full: First year and first competitive race. Very good, hard but enjoyable and that big hill at the mid point - very emotional!! Excellent organisation and thank you to the marshals, it must have been freezing stood out there all day!

Will definitely be back next year.

In short: Hard but enjoyable
In full: My first time and I think I need to purchase some trail shoes, the muddy/icy conditions were hard in normal trainers. Very enjoyable though and well organised. See you next year.
