So what better than to hit you with the water section! chest deep to start, a short jog and the dreaded lollipops, i think it was 5 full submertions in total.

Then started the mud and the killing fields, it is called that for a reason and we were in and out of mud for a good few hours, a new mud section had bee added which was relentless, when walking past it on the way to registration the comment was that dose not look to bad….how wrong we were! ditch after ditch after ditch….by this point the cold was starting to effect people, with no run section longer than a few hundred meters there was no way to warn up. By the end of the run section people were starting to warm up a bit, and those in Neoprene were certainly getting hot under the collar. The course was then in reverse from the last 2 years, which meant you were punished from the start, and from that point on it just seemed hill after hill. Oh the hills! TG added a new field section with large hay bails along the route, which helped spread the field out a bit.

It was not the end of the world, but consensus was they should have let the people that were there start on time, yes it may have screwed up race timing etc but could have helped congestion later on the course….

People will always arrive late (for whatever reason). So our OCRKIT race team were there, so here is what i think!Ħ000 people starting in a single wave, safe to say that it is going to be a massive ask at any event to get this right, when you assume that there are bound to be traffic issues in and around an event surrounded by country roads, with traffic control in place. So, the last ever tough guy! As you have probably seen all over FB the event is getting slated by some and praised by others.
