Woke up at 7 am, drove to Heber, and waited for my race to start up at 10:40. I didn't know what to expect so my tummy was all over the place: nervous, excited...etc. Then I lost track of time...guess you can see where that will lead... While I was stretching and looking for my family, Phil told me that my race started in 3 minutes!! Yikes! Luckily my family showed up, gave em hugs and kisses and booked it to the starting line and they already started! So I jumped in being a little behind everyone and I all ready was huffin and puffin since I practically sprinted to the start line and the very beginning just so happened to be a pretty big hill covered in mud. HAHA I can imagine what other people were thinking. My family said that they saw everyone start, then saw me in my bright pink shirt carry up the rear. hahaha I laughed all the way up the hill. Ya gotta love the funnies!
The first obstacle, I waited forEVER so there wasn't really a need for me to sprint up the hill at the beginning cuz I waited forever. Especially with a group of drill teamers that did NOT want to get muddy... ummm then you're in the wrong race girls!! After what felt like 10 mins or so finally got through and ran my little heart out, rolling over bails of hay, crawling through tunnels, trudging through a resevoir, dodging through tires, climbing walls, gulping down jello shots, climbing rope ladders, somesaulting down bouncy slide, penguin sliding down the hill, cannon balling into the mud pits, then the finish!! I decided to do the 10k instead of the 5k at the last minute. The 10k looked much more muddier and funner! I am so grateful for the support I received from my husband and my family. I probably wouldn't have gone this far without them!!
IT. WAS. A. BLAST!! I can't wait til next year!
