In short: The motto on the medal, "Mud, Sweat and Hills", sums it all up perfectly.
In full: The Rough 'n' Tumble 10 is a tough X-Country race with some tough hills and some tough mud. One of the great things about it is the way in which the competitors cover the full range of speeds. But, speedy or not so speedy, everyone must be a bit touched in the head to want to do this. I'll certainly be doing it again!

In short: Very tough, but beautiful and this first-timer will be back
In full: Excellently run and cheerfully marshalled with glorious views from the ridges. One downhill did cause a bit of a sense of humour failure but I think that conditions made it about as tough as it is likely to be and it was well worth it.

In short: It just gets better and better, but not easier !!
In full: As always a fantastic race - it never disappoints. Brilliant organisation and wonderful patient encouraging marshalls. Unfortunately there is the small business of suicidal hills and mud to contend with but it just makes you appreciate the cakes even more!! Thank you to all involved - it was great

In short: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In full: A well organised event that made the most of the amazing scenery, although how I saw any of it with my head either in mud or staring at a crampon-requiring slope I don't know. Would do again for the personal challenge.
