In full: Lovely race - lots wetter than last year. Slipped over twice and ended up covered in mud. Waterproof camera proved I was there. Great idea!

In short: Tough in the wind, boggy in the fields!
In full: First time I have run this and also my first x-country race so didn't quite know what to expect. The recent weather didn't exactly help the mud which turned into bogs in places but added to the challenge! Stream and puddles offered a great chance to clean the trainers! The run along the river was epecially hard running into a strong wind with no shelter so took it out of you somewhat and left me a bit aprehensive to attack the second half of the race not knowing what was around the corner having not run this before. The small field and lack of fun runners left little oppurtunity to pass from the back which I kind of enjoy doing as it gives me a boost so it was a interesting to run a different kind of race...all in all good fun and will try and do again next year.

In short: great way to spend a sunday morning
In full: excellent course, plenty of mud, loads of puddles, great marshalls and organisation.
The hardest bit is the flat section along the river bank into the wind.
