This race was characterised by waterlogged fields and paths that resembled bogs. A marvellous course had been created for us, almost entirely on footpaths. There was little rain during the day but it had obviously been raining heavily beforehand as evidenced by the lake in the first field that we had to cross. There was nothing for it but to accept that my feet would be wet for the next 6 hours, or however long it was going to take. Mud over the top of the shoes was not uncommon but you just have to go for it - point the toes into it or you loose a shoe! One notable gate between two fields had us briefly up to mid thigh in water. In the end the hills turned it into a 7 hour race but I enjoyed every minute of it.
