Mud Run

Last Saturday was the Camp Pendelton Mud Run. This is our group's 4th year participating and my 3rd year running it. This year we ran with the original 5 girls. I am missing my shirt - I just couldn't find it in my messy closet. My sister Elena came out from Colorado to run it too - she ran solo though and finished way ahead of us. Here is a few of us coming up a small hill. Every year we stop for a photo op at the half way point. This castle is at the top of a giant hill and is a perfect stop for a short break. Believe it or not we have to wait to get a photo - so we aren't the only group stopping.
I love this shot of Annalee. Even when you try and stay dry - you somehow always end up muddy and wet.
The water level was high and it was freezing cold. I thought I was going to go into shock... can you tell?
Annalee was nice enough to carry me across - I just couldn't stand the cold on my chest. The water was arm pit high - just look at the girl in back.
Through the stinky tunnel...
If you are wondering just how muddy it really is... here is a picture of some of it. Nice.
And then we finished. I felt great the whole time it wasn't until we were walking to the showers that I twisted my knee and I've been limping ever since. Fun times girls! Next year we are going to beat our time!!!
