In short: Glorious mud!!!
In full: Fantastic race - 1st time. Tough race some very steep (short) climbs - Once you get over the fact that you are going to get muddy and let yourself go its great fun. Came about 300th out of 2400 so not bad lets see if I can improve on that next year. Good to see Gordon Ramsay keeping it real and getting dirty!!

In short: Muddy fun and madness!
In full: Absolutely loved it! Who'd have thought you could get so damn dirty and yet have so much fun?! Avoided as many big puddles as possible but after 2 miles, what the heck - knee deep in brown muddy mini-lakes, might as well run through them all! Thought Bog of Doom was the last of the big ones then you have the Lake and sandy hills to contend with! Befriended and ran across the finish line with a fellow Dulwich-ite Chris, what great spirit! Will definitely be back next year!

In short: Great atmosphere, unlike anything else I've ever done before. The potential to turn an ankle and get covered in bog water all rolled into one
