A muddy affair I just wasn't expecting.
I signed up to the event to get a festive run in and perhaps look for a 10k PB. I didn't realise how muddy it was going to be though.
I used road shoes which was a bad idea. I was slipping all over the place for the first 3k. It also sapped the energy out of me. I think otherwise the first 3k would have been really enjoyable, I just needed the correct trainers.
The course switches between a path and field, with the last 1k being a tarmac road. There is also a water feature to run through at about 8k which made those last 2k very refreshing!
A chap from a ru ning club picked me up with 1k to go and I steamed home to make up some of my lost time.
Overall pleased and I think the event is great. Supports a good cause and had a great atmosphere.
