Muddy Buddy Atlanta 2007

June 25, 2007-

Dearest Friends & Family,
The big day was yesterday!!!! My friend Emma and I ran our 10k obstacle/relay race! Wahooooooo!!!! We were in the 9th wave so our race started at 9AM on what was later to be the hottest June day on record!!! EEEKKKK!!!

I biked for 3 legs of the event and ran for 2. I only had one wipe out on the bike! (It wouldn't have been fun if I didn't wipe out at least once!) The obstacles weren't too bad, just lots of walls to climb. I think the snake I ran into on the course should count as an obstacle as well (I hurtled over him and yelled back to the girls behind me a warning call, and watched 10 girls run around screaming as I kept plunging forward....Mother Nature loves me!). The mudpit was our final obstacle right before the finish line. Some jerk actually mixed gravel in with the mud so that is where most of my damage comes from. I'm a little cut up.

But, for our official finish time: 57 MINUTES 35 SECONDS!!!!! We finsihed midway in our category! Wahoo!!! Not bad for our first type of event like that! The link has the AJC article to read and I've attached the pictures we took. I look gross but who cares!!! I finished the Muddy Buddy!!!!
