Sorry guys but you make me laugh when you get worried that a course gets muddy. This is occurring regularly this time of year across the pond....
If Gault reported that this part of the course was literally on fire, some crusty crank on here would be claiming his state meet passed through the flaming gates of hell.
Thats an ongoing diatribe for a long time.... junior.....

What is the obsession with course conditions and rain or no rain for a cross country race? it's part of the package deal in cross. Everyone runs the same course, same conditions, everyone has the same chance to navigate the same course. Roping off parts of the course, putting down tarps...a couple of weeks ago a state meet closed the course for pre-race runs because they were afraid it would tear the course up too much. Again, everyone runs the same course at the same time. Good grief.
What a bizarre rant. I love tough XC courses and poor conditions - that makes it fun! But I sure as heck want to know what the course conditions are like in advance. Should I wear 6mm pins or 16mm pins? Will it be unusually hard to pass during the race because of the footing? These are things I don't want to figure out 3K into the race.
All the Brits will be looking at that photo and assuming you must have had a prolonged spell of fine weather ??
Those legs have zero muscles, no tone or definition at all. Ugly.
