Muddy Buddy

Jim & I, along with some friends, had a great time racing in the Muddy Buddy. Although it was SUPER fun, it was one of the hardest races I have ever done. Lets just say the WHOLE thing is up hill at Afton Alps Ski Area. So the race works like this... You have a partner (Jim & I were team Mud Wiser). One partner (Jim) starts by biking, while the other partner (I) start by running. You both race until you come to the first obstacle. Jim obviously beat me there, he did the obstacle, & then left the bike & started running. Once I run up to the obstacle, I do it as well, then jump on the bike & off to the next obstacle. So we keep leap frogging each other the whole race. Well, even when it was your turn to bike, the hills were so steep, you couldn't bike. I ended up pushing my bike up the hill. Then for the short while that I had a steep down hill, I wiped out on my bike and it freaked me out. So I ended up pretty much walking down the hills as well. I guess I have no sense of adventure in my bones because others were just flying by me! Then for the last obstacle, you wait for your partner and together, crawl through the mud pit. It was FUN!!!The group before hand (Vettels, Us, Postons)
