They still had a few dumb pools of muddy water you had to go through, but way less than other years. Overall it was pretty good. Running the super does remind me how unprepared I am for that distance though - I had zero obstacle failures and still was middle of the Age Group class.

Seemed like less people than usual, which isn't a good sign for the races long-term. The beer gardens were so sad looking with tubs of beer and like 3 people drinking.

That single track sloppy mess back in the trees again was really mean. But I guess that's the idea.

I wonder how much the weather came into play? A few short years ago there were 7k people in the sprint total. This year was only 1.7k. And 500 in the super from 750 last year.

New group of people running it next year by the sounds of it. Maybe they can stir up the interest again.
