Muddy Buddy!!

Today was the date of the Portland Muddy Buddy. My buddy and I woke up at the crack of dawn (5:30am!) and made the trip down to Estacada. When we got there it was a toasty 38 degrees. Yeah. The mud pit had frost on it. Exactly. Brrrrrr!!! We waited patiently for our wave to start and then we were off! I started on the bike. I biked a mile to the first obstacle, which was the "high wall". We had to use rock gym hand and feet grips to climb up and over a wall and then climb down the cargo net on the other side. I left the bike there for my buddy to pick up and took off jogging through the woods. I little over a mile later I reached the low crawl and army crawled my way along the ground. I picked up the bike from my buddy and biked another mile to the next obstacle, which was a 30 foot long balance beam. I hated that one :) The next leg was the toughest, and it was my turn to jog again. In a mile and a half we had to climb about 250 feet... which would have been one thing if it was gradual... totally doable, but instead it was flat with crazy steep sections. I manage to jog up it and got to pass a bunch of people who were walking. I even passed a bunch of girls who were walking their bikes up the hill! The favorite obstacle of the day was a 20 foot inflatable wall which we climbed up with a cargo net. The slide on the other side was crazy steep, but super fun. Rode the last leg and pulled in to the home stretch where my buddy and I crawled on our hands and knees through 50 feet of mud. It was gross and awesome all at the same time. I have never been so dirty in my life. Super fun :) Better put this one on my calendar for next year! We got 15th out of 60... and neither of us have been running much lately. We'll take it! :)
