In short: Never a dull moment.
In full: A tough race if you're not used to off-road terrain. Some steep, steep hills and technical descents.

The rain was nice in my opinion. Made me feel alive.

I'll be back next year and better prepared.

In short: best day ever
In full: this was my 8th marathon of the year so far and my far the best, this road runner is def converted. yes it was hard the the rewards great - the scenery was out of this world when the rain subsided. the underfoot conditions were quite bad but this seemed to make the miles float by. sign me up for next year. only thing was the course was short; i made it 25.5 so not a marathon

In short: 2011 Scorchio, 2012 Squelchio still relentless, challenging, beautiful and brilliant
In full: Not for the faint of heart, a course that will test you to your limits, the combination of climbs, descents and terrain barely gives you a moments respite. Organisation faultless again this year, support awesome, weather terrible but I preferred this years wet to last years heat. In two years has become a must do marathon for those who want more than urban Tarmac. Not one to underestimate but just the best way imaginable to spend a filthy wet Sunday at the start of July.
