In short: what a classic!
In full: Punishment number 4 as I returned once again to the hills of hell and bogs of doom. Well it was funny to come round the corner to see a topless Gordon Ramsey removing outerwear as the day warmed up and was a complete contrast to the woeful saturday yesterday which was spent in the crazy wind and rain of the Surrey League XC! I decided that I had better get moving as after listening to Mr Ramsey turn the air (cordon) bleu with an audition for the F-word at each muddy knee-deep puddle. I am sure the course has evolved slightly over the years but it never seems any easier. The bog this year felt less imposing as the rest of the course was just soooo waterlogged. Happy though as 83 mins and shaved a minute off my fastest time here so feel in good shape. See you next year....where I will be following Mr Ramsey with a soggy cardboard swearbox!!!

In full: Really enjoyed the mud & Bog of Doom! Made better because of the lovely sun, but a really good race, I would recommend this one.
