‪@ToughMudder‬ South West returns to the Badminton estate, but it is only for one day as it is paired with Spartan Race which ran on the Sunday.
However, this meant that the course was buzzing, with over 7,000 participants on the day through all the obstacles, and, with so many people, very few queues!
I ran with fellow ‪@UKOCR‬ Who's Hot presenter and elite OCR racer, Becky - @therunnerbeanuk on Instagram.
Now, if you have been following me for sometime, you may know that South West is one of my least favourite courses. The lack of elevation for one, but its becuase its always seemed like one long dog leg of and out and back - running past people who have just started or just finished - seeing pretty much all of the course in the distance with all the loops.
This year was different - of course, its the same estate, but the small changes in the course meant that it felt like a properly thought out course, with very little loops.
Great runners course, with some long running sections on the 15km - fun obstacle placements (although no real surprises) but I do like the feel of the "gauntlet" towards the end - Stairway to Heaven - Pyramid Scheme, Everestt, Arctic Enema, Mudder Horn, Hnaging Tough then finishing into Electro Shock Therapy
And lets have a moment for Electro Shock Therapy - Levelled up once again by TMHQ - the addition of a large hay bale is both evil and genius!
Video is from the 11am wave on Saturday - apologies for the quality of some of the footage. The weather was playing havoc - as you can see, we started in bright beautiful sunshine and ended in what felt like a tropical storm, wtih all the seasons inbetween!
