Once you've found the 'guts button' a.k.a. 'No Fear button' (it's somewhere between your ears) and open the throttle, things will become a lot easier.
The Ten is at best at speed, its weight will help you to push/plough through/over most of the obstacles you'll encounter.
Tires are OK. In really sandy/muddy conditions you might be more comfortable with enduro tires (like Michelin Enduro Competion IV). Run them at about 1.0bar / 14,5 psi for more grip on slippery grounds.
