The mud had packed down on the shimano freewheel and had taken the slack out of the chain, i only became aware of this when trying to grind up a hill and the drive train went super tight and sounds of impending snappage of chain alerted me to stop before the chain broke and i popped a knee or two, apart from that the bike handled the mud fine.
