Muddy Buddies--Partners in Grime!

This past Sunday my dad and I competed in the Muddy buddy race in Miami. If you have never heard of it, I'll explain how it works. You and a partner take turns riding a bike and running. One person starts off running and one riding. After the first mile, the person riding gets to the obstacle first and drops their bike, completes the obstacle, and begins running the next mile. The runner reaches the 1st obstacle, completes it, and begins riding the next mile to the next obstacle. You continue "relaying" for approx. 6 miles. Our obstacles were a rock climbing wall, a low crawl under some nets, balance beams, and an inflatable slide. You meet up with your buddy at the end and have to complete the final obstacle together...the giant mudpit, through which you must crawl on your belly. We had a blast! Can't wait til next years!!!!

The mud pit!

Ready for the big race


Rethinking the race at this point
