Muddy Buddy '08

About a month ago Dave and I did our second Muddy Buddy. IT WAS A BLAST. I basically talk about this race all year, this past year I registered the day it opened, some absurd date like December 27th - in short I am obcessed....but for a good reason. This race is literally the most fun you can have with your close on! People of all ages come out, families, friends, sure it's a race, but plenty of people aren't there to win it. Ugh I wish it was closer to next years....but somehow I will survive.

They changed up the course a little this year, although Dave and our friends seem to think they didn't that is a DIRTY lie, I start on the run and there were DEFINITLY way more hills this year. It was a completely different race since there was no torrential down pour leading up to the start, infact it looked like this:



Yes that would be the SUN and yes it is just starting to RISE (sidenote, we get up at 445AM for this race, that is dedication)

There were a few more pre-race photos:


Helmets are so HOT right now


Ready to Rock!

So as it turns out Dave and I are super consistent. In 2007 we placed 14th in our age group.......in 2008......we placed 14th in our age group! We were about 8 minutes behind the first place finishers, but there were plenty of people behind us. We were not even CLOSE to as Muddy as last year, but I'm not upset about that, I think I had mud in places I didn't know existed last year. It was an absolute BLAST.


All hosed off....


Rock on with your Muddy self

We changed and headed over for a few free beers, at about 10AM :) - next year we plan to bring our own cooler nad enjoy the whole day. Seriously you just have to do this race!



Now the countdown begins to Boston Registration!!!!

Good News....well kinda

So I FINALLY uploaded our Muddy Buddy pix to the computer, like a month later. I blow. The bad news is that it's late, the gold medal volleyball match is on (GO USA) , and so I'm going to blog them tomorrow. I promise.....Paul has really been buggin' me about it, so up they go tomorrow - stay tuned......
