And who can forget the "Pit O'Mud" at Jackson Farm, not a run up, but a crawl up, and sometimes a crawl up, slide down and crawl up again? To make it worse, you had the spectators above cheering the mayhem.

I agree. It revealed how little technical skill I have, and the run/walk/crawl-up ate my lunch to be sure, but it was nothing like too hard.
I know it was a great course - if a little long - because I'm still running several sections over and over in my mind trying to do them better.

A few short run ups that everyone had to run but nothing like the ol' "Knapp-Time run up" at Steilacoom and the rest of the course was was fast including a couple mud sections that were "just right" in consistency :)
