Hi Nigel, sorry I did not see this before or would have been looking eagerly too. I ran it for the first time yesterday and OMG what a challenge. The first 2 legs were OK but my legs failed me and I was wobbling all over by the time I finished the last leg.
Think I would have happily swum the river to avoid the extra distance at the end!
How did you do?

Hi I think you said it for me to .! What a day I though the trails were more like streams than trails .i had to dig deep for the last 2 miles and going past the finish to cum back again OMG .walking back to the car after the finish was fun .

definitely do it again what about you !

Hmmm it is a bit too early to pledge another go but probably once the pain subsides and my toenails stop throbbing.....
Luckily I ran with a clubmate and it was reassuring knowing he was there if I did indeed fall head first into a bog.
We did 4:16 but think I could have gone quicker if the course was drier.
