So 6 of us girls participated in Fort Worth's 10th annual mud run this past weekend. This being my first one, I don't think there was anything that could have prepared me for the physical energy needed to finish this race. Here's a little info about it:
The dirtiest story fit to print in the Metroplex!
Mud Run is a combination of regular citizens, Civil Servants, companies, teams, colleges and some military personnel competing together through a series of boot camp styled obstacles that have been surrounded by (or consist entirely of) mud. The race is 10K and it is unique to the state of Texas. This is definitely not something you could set up in your backyard, last year's Fall run brought the entire community of the DFW Metroplex together and the Spring event was the most successful we have ever had. People cheered as teams of contestants slipped, slid, and sloshed their way to victory. It is a unique experience whether running or watching! It should be fun for the whole family.
It was CRAZY I tell ya and EXHAUSTING is such an understatement. It took us 2 1/2 hours to complete 6.3 miles (5 miles of running and 1.3 miles of military proof obstacles). By the end of the race I was POOPED! Hope you enjoy a "few" pics of this experience! =)
(hopefully next time it will be WARMER...burrrrr!)
