WOW... what an amazing day we had, nothing like heading into an 13 mile + run with 25+ obstacles to do, and having no idea what you are in for. You see we signed up for the relay portion and last minute it was cancelled and they said go as far as you can.. OK.... but really once you started you finished all 13 miles pretty much. We started the run straight up hill, we ran Thur mud holes up to your knees, ran under poles, jumped 6ft walls them feel over, there was even a 7ft wall, we climbed up and over a bridge, we carried sand bags up a hill, we carried a bucket of gravel up a hill, we pulled a cement block which i swear was a 100lbs.we had a little to much energy drink and gum and one point to bad it only lasted about a few minutes. we climbed what seemed like an eternity up the side of the mountain which I swear did me in. But the funniest part was we came upon 4 mud pits that soaked us and was actually kinda fun we had to climb out of the holes into the others and it was so slippery it was really fun, to bad it only lasted a few minutes them back to the hard stuff. It was a very hard race/run we mostly walked because those obstacles were kicking our butts and we were to tired. We finally came up to the finish line and we thought holy cow we did it.....wait... wait... we now had to roll Thru the mud and rocks down hill probably 150 yards or so, them we had to climb over a wall, jump over the fire and get hit my some javelin's, them cross the finish line. You know it was the hardest race I have even done but I had such a good feeling of accomplishment when I finished, well actually once I got home and took a shower, I had mud in places that shouldn't be, but that was OK. I woke up the next day feeling like I had been ran over and over and over, I have bruises on my hips, my legs my ribs, by all mean if you look at my legs and elbows I look like I really did the race ha ha, would I do it again YES!!! next year for sure. I have a felt such a great accomplishment about myself and my ability's I think I have never been in better shape than I am at this point in my life. I wouldn't change it for a thing. I was glad to be able to do it with my sister and brother in law, and glad I have such good support from my family and friends, Chris has been there every time to cheer me on I know he doesn't like sitting in the sun but I love having him there when I cross the finish line, I may look like I may die but he always tells me how good I did and he's proud of me and that's exactly what I need to hear after a race. Next run is in September who's with me? its only a 10k then I am done for a while.
