It was much hillier than I expected - a bit of road, 4 miles up, 4 miles down and a bit more road.

Hit my target time of under two hours which I was very happy with considering how boggy it was at the top.

I did the challenge and the lad who won the race, flew past us at around 10K, even though we had a 15min head start.

He did it in 1.01 which is nothing short of astounding given the terrain, the inclines, but more so the downhills ( steep, treacherous and wet )

There's some absolute speed freak's out there, I do wonder what they could achieve on the flat.
Out of interest, considering you've said about the state of the downhills, did you have deep lugs on your trainers? Im not sure I would've come with the correct fell shoes had I entered.

I had regular trail shoes on, as did virtually everyone else.

I don’t think anyone was expecting it to be so wet higher up tbh.

I bought fell shoes with me, but decided against them, as the ground was dry at the start !
