In short: mud glorious mud !!
In full: lots more mud than last year plus horizontal torrential rain half way through definately made this the toughest race in hampshire this year. And then there was the turbo x zone - gets a good 8/10 on the 'tough guy' scale. just needs some things to climb over/ under !! . I wasnt as fit as last year so did much slower time. will get other poeple to do it in 2010. great fun

In short: Absolutely amazing!!!!!
In full: This is my first time running one of the SAAB Salomon trail series, and I have to say that I really enjoyed every mud soaked minute of it. The weather was absolutely awful, which made it even more fun. The X zone was thoroughly flooded which made it even more brutal, it was so amusing getting stuck in the mud and pulling others out of it.
The single file trails through the woods where a bit frustrating at times, but if you could spare a moment from looking at where to place your feet to avoid the rutts and roots, then it was quite a scenic route.
The sand pits where filled with water, there was absolutely no way that anybody could avoid getting saturated!
The hills were ridiculous and you literally had to drag yourself up them in the X zone.
The cadets/marshalls were suprisingly happy and encouraging despite the awful weather, and the whole event run like clockwork.
A great race and amazing course!
