Muddy Buddy

This past weekend I competed in the Muddy Buddy and the Rock'n'Roll Half marathon to complete the Rock'n'Mud Challenge.

Muddy Buddy

The Muddy Buddy I did with my wife, Raquel, and we had a great time.  Aside from the heat, everything else was fun and challenging.  The race was 4.5 miles long with 12 o"obstacles."  The obstacles themselves were not very difficult for myself and Raquel was able to do all the obstacles without any help except for the rope climb.  Other than that she dominated all the obstacles.  There were only 2 real hills but they were steep and took a lot out of you when going up them.  I was a little disappointed that there were only 2 mud pits and the first one wasn't until the half-way point.  The first one was like crawling through clay it was so thick, and the other mud pit was at the very end and it was more like a water pit with dirt mixed in.  All in all the race was well executed and a lot of fun for Raquel and I.  We are already planning on signing up for it again next year.  I would recommend this race for beginner and intermediate obstacle course racers looking to have a good time.  This would not be a challenging course for advanced OCR'ers but still fun either way.
