thesteadygroove Jul 2012 6:17pm, 11 Jul 2012 1,590 posts	0 thesteadygroove Yep, i'm doing the 70 and looking forward to it. Is the rain going to affect any of the underfoot conditions, i'm not sure what the terrain is like?
DaveRayment Jul 2012 8:17pm, 14 Jul 2012 First-time poster!!	0 DaveRayment Yes the rain did affect the underfoot conditions, there was one very muddy hill about 2 miles into the lap which was very slippery after a couple of laps. I did the 40 and really felt for the guys and gals doing the 70 and 100. Saw you at the end of your 2nd lap Ria, hope you got through it ok and are still raring to go for the half tomorrow.
