Saturday marked Race #1 in our 12 in 12 race series and what better way to start the running season then with a Mud Obstacle course and 13 amazing women from church.
14 of us embarked on a laughter filled 5k Mud Obstacle course to benefit Breast Cancer Research.
Here we are before the race. Team Peeps decked in yellow.
Mel and my first race of the year
Obstacle #1- Barn Burner- Hay Bale Climb
Obstacle #2- H2OMG Water Pit
A friendly wave to the spectators on the way to the next obstacle
Obstacle #3- Over and Under the wires
Here come the Tunnels at Obstacle #4
The tunnels were filled with water, mud and little pebbles
Cheering each other on
Obstacle #5- Rope pull
You had to slide down the embankment, wade through the water and then climb up the other side. Our Team did an amazing job of cheering one another on and working together until everyone was up and across.
(Okay this picture was too funny to not include. While Rob was waiting for our group to reach the next obstacle, this is what he saw. Piggy Back Grandma- and it was her idea :)
Ready to scale the cargo net at Obstacle #6
Reaching the top together
Cheering on our team mates (and other teams too)
Obstacle #7 Tire Pump- tire high step
Obstacle #8 Just Get Over it- wall climb
(this was probably my toughest obstacle that day. It was not bad getting to the top but when you were there it the drop on the other side was high and there was no good grips for your hands. But I did it)
Obstacle #9 (not photographed) was another dip in the water and a rope pull to get out.
Obstacle #10 Mud Crawl to the finish
What we started together, we finished together.
We are the Dirty Girls!
1 Race completed, 11 more to go
