In short: Mud, sand, wind & rain - mad but fun...!
In full: This years race was run in some pretty spectator un-friendly weather, but you didn't really notice it after the start until you headed back towards the finish. The off road sections were lethal in some places (40 degree wet mud) & the uphill sections were tough, but once you headed downhill & gravity took over it was Kamikazee time...
Brilliant fun & another pair of trainers consigned to the bin.

In short: Top race in all aspects
In full: From warm and spacious HQ in college to the 'challenge' on the muddy hill, and back to the drama of the marina causeway and the run in up the beach this is a race to savour and return to every year. Thanks to all, especially the marshalls.

In short: Fab!
In full: I love the Tough Ten, it's like a comfy pair of slippers. Very pleased it's back to the old style course, makes things a bit more interesting. First class marshall & crowd support, and excellent organisation. Oh, & I PB'd!!

In short: Wet, windy, muddy with a couple of tidy gradients, what more could you ask for! Thoroughly enjoyable race and a thank you to marshalls who had to endure the weather conditions today.
