Obstacle course and mud run. It was an unseasonably cool 62F to start this morning. Very chilly...felt like something was wrong! First obstacle was under wires with fire hoses spraying cold water...that took my breath away! Then tires, hay bales, climb a corral fence, run thru a marsh, more hay bales, log carry, crawl under wires, run up the river (that was nice, actually), big pile of mud, and the capper was the football team armed with tackling dummies. I thought they were just a hair too exuberant in their clobbering of male runners. ;) Then repeat 3x. No clue about placement, since the race was not very organized. I was ok with my performance, but a bit un-prepared. Methinks some more hills are in order.
I hope you had fun :) sounded fun! pics? you all muddy? :P

No pics...awkward to carry a camera/phone when you're crawling thru mud, etc. Went with a friend, but he ran, too. His gf took a few pics of him, but I dodged the camera. If there are race pics online I'll post a few here.

I LOVE a good mud run! Sounds like you had fun but "repeat 3x" and "not very organized" are not on my list of favorites! Great job and count me as one more vote for pics!

Geeze!! Who thinks that stuff up? Sounds intense. :-) Maybe they should write a book -- fifty shades of prairie sludge!

Great job Mark! I'm not sure I would have water to repeat it 3 times though!

Normally, the words "sludge" and "trudge" sound like something I'd want to avoid! But with your further description, well....still want to avoid! But awesome experience for you, and the pace seems crazy, considering all of the obstacles in your way. Nice race, Mark!

Great job with the trudge, Mark! I was thinking of doing this one but opted for the Tri. Sounds tough but fun!
