The Dirty Dash #2 - Obstacles

ok. this is probably going to be a major picture overload. i couldn't decide on what ones to use! also...some of the obstacles we don't have pictures of because they were so far away and our fan club wasn't out there to take pictures so i stole some off of Facebook. don't know if i am allowed to but i am pretty i did it... some of the teams took disposable camera's around with them and took pictures. such a good idea. i could've gotten a picture of Jaisha after she fell in the stream...hehe. so any picture without a bunch of pink of girls is not mine! here we go...

starting line:

we look good, don't we? the worker guy is so checking us out =)


Obstacle #1: Big Pig Climb:
we had to run up this massive hill of mud

this was the thickness of the mud:

this hill doesn't look hard but it was. it was slippery and there were so many people around. we were holding hands with each other to get up it. plus you start out muddy and starting out with the first mile all up hill is draining. it took me forever to catch my breath.


Obstacle #2: Hogbails:
i think there were about 6 or 7 of these and after awhile it got tiring. me and Kate did a little James Bond towards the end and rolled over them. we were to tired to jump...


Obstacle #3: Razorback Alley:


Obstacle #4: Pig Pen
These walls were hard...they had guys spraying us with these massive hoses (and i think they were enjoying themselves to much) so you would walk up to the wall and your foot would sink into about 8 inches of mud. makes it a little harder to pull yourself out. but i walked up to those walls and got this major shot of adrenaline and pulled myself right over...it was awesome. (that is me climbing over)


Obstacle #5: Hog Wallow


Obstacle #6: Slop 'n' Slide
this was by far the hardest obstacle...the picture below was just the preview to the big obstacle. there was a muddy swampy area that was probably the size of a soccer field, as deep and as thick below. if you stopped you sunk more and would get stuck. sometimes you would step in a spot and you would sink down to your thighs. it was so hard...especially when you are laughing the whole time!


Obstacle #7: Slide
all of us (Jaisha, Kate, me, Nikki, Heidi..in that order) lined up, ready to charge the slide.

Wee!! (there wasn't much water on the slide so we would run and than jump..not really slide)


Obstacle #8: Hog Wash
this was suppose to be the area where people threw water ballons at us... they were all out by the time we got there so instead we are charging for that muddy pool of a mess.


Obstacle #9: Pig Sty
oh yeah..

this is me getting Jaisha. the whole race she keep throwing mud at everyone and so we all decided to attack her...



here are a couple running shots:
Nikki, Heidi, & Jaisha

well actually walking shot of me & Kate:


after we were all done this group of guys came and gave us a nice muddy hug and started jumping up and down... even though you can't see it all 5 of us are inside of there:


and i just love this picture...we are so dirty!


the next race is a 5k in May... i am so excited. this race rocks!
