In short: Deep in places!
In full: Glad that the water station was at 3 miles and at 7 mile mark with the hot weather, could have done with maybe a half way marker?
Mud was really good fun, don't know why people choose to do it if they don't want to get wet!
Other than that really enjoyable fun race event that is just good fun and leaves you with a happy face.

In full: My second Turbo X and cant reccomend them enough. Expect to get dirty and wet, and forget about your time and just have fun. A great excuse to play in the mud.
