The Dirty Dash

Ryan and I ran The Dirty Dash 10k the last weekend of August. We ran it with a group of Ryan's co-workers. I figured the race would be hard since I didn't train at all for it, but I wasn't expecting the whole first half of the race to be uphill. We faced giant hay bails, muddy pipes to crawl through, climbing walls, a tire course, a root beer (or real beer) chug, a few different mud pits, and then finally the big slide and final mud pit. The experience was awesome, we will be doing it again!






































Here we are before the race, so clean!






















Pretty quick into the race we all concluded that cutoffs were a bad choice.





















And here we are after the race, so dirty!





















This is us right after the final mud pit along with Brooke, one of Ryan's co-workers.
















At the end we went down this huge slide. This was my favorite part.

















Then into this huge mud pit. Ryan cannon balled into the mud pit and then started swimming so fast as if he was going to win the Olympics. The crowd went wild when he started swimming. I didn't swim, I just trudged. While I trudged little kids sitting on the banks of the pit started chucking mud at me. It was one of the funniest things of my life.
