what is muddy buddy you ask? it is a 10k run and bike with a buddy. each buddy starts running or biking and comes to an obstacle, both complete the obstacle and switch...you continue leap frogging each other until the finish line that is complete with a mud pit that you crawl through with your buddy. (by the way, this trail is part of the 1996 olympic mountain bike trail..yikes!)
here is the proof!
here we are at the beginning...see how clean we were!
we were VERY nervous.
here i am finishing before the mud pit.
and here is the pit...apparently we were supposed to crawl on our bellies and not on our knees...oh well! pel decided to crab crawl.
here is some of the group that pelham runs with in south ga.
john was so sweet and got up at 5am and drove with the kids to cheer us on. it was awesome to see them along the trail. they were even dressed in hot pink for us! we signed mm up for the mini muddy buddy, but after she saw everyone going in the mud, she decided that it was not for her! they didn't even want to give us a hug. it was so funny!
until next year!!!
by the way, this is the mud before...looks innocent enough doesn't it?!

Congratulations! I hope your washer and dryer are not in the flooded garage. Too bad Tide does not sponser the event and wash your clothes afterwards.
Great job! What an inspiration you are!
