The Dirty Dash

Dirty Dash
Wipeout meets Boot Camp - Soldier Hollow style
(if you are unfamiliar with Wipeout, click here to watch what I mean)


This was one of the most difficult things I've done!  10k (6.2 miles) of hills, trails, mud, obstacles, water, laughter and fun!

Team member, Carole, got some great pics of us as we ran; and of course we got some other good ones from Flo Foto! By the way, you'll notice in the pics that we took our SWEET time finishing.  No point rushing through such great fun, right?

Squeaky Clean Start - 80s style :)

The Hogbails

tons of hills

Razorback Alley

The Pig Pen

We totally sank in the mud. And yes, we hurdled these walls.  Remember the boot camp analogy?
 
 

Hog Wallow

Secret Obstacle - smelled like duck poo.  I had to plug my nose while I ran so I didn't lose my breakfast!

Uphill to the Slop n' Slide
(Note: I did slide, but I only made it about half way down so I had to stand up to run again)


Pig Sty

And the FILTHY FINISH!

How come I'm just hearing about this???? This is hilarious and wildly insane! Looks like a blast. The girls are dying over your muddy face. Sami - "She has to wash herself!"

This is awesome! I have never heard of it before....Great pictures! I love that every time I check your blog, I wonder what you will be up to next. :)

--Hopefully a trip to Utah in the Spring. Probably not going to happen until next year. Dang.
