In short: Very, very, very, very wet
In full: as the man on the PA said, and he was not wrong. To think I complained about having to run through one or two ankle deep puddles a couple of years ago. But I'm going keep doing this one at least until we get good weather for it.

In short: Pack your wellies and climbing ropes!
In full: Terrible conditions almost a foot deep in places, water streaming down the hills. Although well organised and dedicated Marshalls despite the horrible conditions. I had heard it was hilly but up and down like a yoyo a real challenge!

In short: Brilliant race in appalling conditions
In full: Freezing rain for the first hour, roads flooded ankle deep, the conditions were so bad it was great - the most enjoyable run I've had this year. A huge thank you to fantastic marshalls and organisers who remained cheerful throughout. This remains my favourite race in the calendar, looking forward to 2013 if my kit dries out in time!
