Nice one Chris, in what sound like non-ideal conditions :strongbench:

Just a heads up lots of Brooks shoes on offer on Sports Pursuit if in need of fresh footwear:

Cheers. not benefitting the wind for the first half (river level and in trees) and getting nailed at the end is brutal. First time out in Saucony Endorphin Edge (carbon plated trail shoe). No idea if it made a difference, but they are great shoes for mixed trails, but i think tread is not really deep enough for really wet muddy conditions. Will see later in the year if things come to fruition....

Good effort on the race. I'd be interested to see what you think of carbon trails over the long term. Personally I really rate carbon road shoes, but wondered how they would realistically work in trails.

I rate carbon road shoes too. From what i have read, due to the nature of shoe and terrain you are limited to lower stack size so benefits are not going to be as big as road shoes, but if you can get some at a reasonable price it's worthwhile. They were £100 on sportshoes, so a worthwhile punt as I needed new trail shoes anyway.
