In short: A memorable experience!!!
In full: This was only the 2nd race I have done. And boy was it memorable! The mud really was something else and despite the hours in the shower after I would love to do that bit again! The run itself was definitey harder and longer than I bargained for but a great challenge. I was a tiny bit disappointed it wasn't more 'fun' and actually found the atmosphere less friendly than at my first race (Paras' 10). There weren't very many people cheering you on (although massive thumbs up to the awesome steward who got us all up THAT hill). That said, I am glad I did it and would recommend it for its off-road glory! Well organised on the whole, loved devil's disco (but want more of that type of stuff) and PLEASE at least 1 more water station. While I wouldn't say it felt elitist at all (fancy dress etc!) it's probably not ideal if you're not very confident about your fitness and/or ability to scale steep hills!
