Orion 15
A tough event with lots of mud and hills.
Very pleased with how I did - 54th overall and 25th vet.
Official result time a little quicker than Garmin: 1:55:38.
Chose trail shoes rather than studs due (a) to not having used studs longer than 5 miles before and (b) a quick recce in woodland near car park suggested things were not too bad underfoot. Very soon began to question wisdom of this as soon after the start we went down a very slippery trackway (which we had to come up to the finish - even worse!). Three of the hills I walked up, the last primarily due to steepness, but the first two because I was struggling for traction. A tumble and slide down one hill, fortunately on forgiving grass. However, later on, there were a number of road and firm track sections where I think I was better off with my Salomons.
Rain before start and quite heavy on way home, but worst of the weather mainly held off for duration of the race.
