"I survived my race! It was surprisingly warm running, but geez that wind!!!!
Was actually super fun sploshing through all the mud and puddles (and a river??).
There was a particularly evil uphill though and I’m still bloody awful on downhills, but all in all I really enjoyed it! Was very dubious when Martin Quinn described it as “great” “fun” and all the highly positive words he’s renowned for using 🤣 but he was right this time 🤣🤣
Bethany also did the juniors race - she did fab and wasn’t even out of breath at the end......think daddy held her up tbh 😂. She also loved sploshing through the puddles!" - Lara,2019
