Hi Peter,
I am one of the evil @(_+{{ who make the course (the so-called Toughguy Special Forces). I definitely agree with the poster who said yo need to work on your endurace. i know it is a bit late now, but hopefully you already have been doing so. It is a hard race, but well worth it. My biggest tip is to take your time on the slaloms. When I did my first TG in 2000, I made up about 200 places just on the slaloms. I regretted it later. If you have the fitness, it is the ideal time to make places - if you are not 100%, take your time and thank yourself later.
If you want any more help, you can get hold of me through

All the best - and enjoy the race.
Say hello to me - I will be the skinhead giving out huge logs to people as they enter the lake. I don't race in summer as I have a triathlon the week after. If you enter next year, I will be offering some sort of basic fitness programme to Toughguy veterans - watch my website or TG website for more details.

I'm guessing this time round it's going to be really cold.
