In short: I would do this again just for the water!! Great fun, hard work!!
In full: The only annoying thing - would the first man home have been so quick if he had actually run through all the puddles like he should have done!! With this race you pay your money to get wet and muddy - nothing else surely!!

In short: Not as tough as I thought it would be but great fun!
In full: It was not as 'Grim' as I had expected
But it was great fun, enjoyed the mud and water
Will definitely run it again next year
Probably was good training for 'Tough Guy' in january, which i suspect will not be so tame!
