  • Comments: I love the Muddy Buddy. This is my fifth year. The obstacles could have been a little more inventive but the MUD PIT is the BEST. Cool slimy mud! I will do it again and again until I am too old. Which is probably next year!!!

  • Comments: Ok here's the deal, of the six mile course I ran about 4.5 miles of it. Why? Because some jackhole took my bike at the first changeover!!! Yes, the wrong friggin bike. So I spent 15 minutes at the first obstacle looking for the bike. Deciding that it was gone, I ran the next leg, did the obstacle, realized that my partner probably got the bike and then ran the next leg. So I did a 5k before i met up with James. He said that some guy gave him the bike and said he made a mistake and that I probably took another bike. Why would I take someone else's bike??? Anyway my legs were spent and I did a lot of pushing of the bike on my leg. I sissied out of the last hill cuz it was too steep! Ran the last leg and hit the 12 foot wall and then the mud pit! All in all it was a good day!

  • Comments: This was the most fun I've every had during a race. It was hot and sunny and the run and ride were on rough terrain so although a short distance, it was challenging. Each leg was 1 to 1.25 miles long for a total race distance of 5.7 miles. You traded off biking and running with your partner. At each transition you needed to complete an obstacle. First obstacle was scaling a wall, next was scaling an inflatable wall. Nearly impossible for me as the wall was over my head, no place to grip. Every time I jumped up I would slide right back down since I was so sweaty. Finally people began to help each other over, otherwise I'd still be there trying to get over. Next obstacle was a fog maze, that every one was worried about and it was rather lame. After that was a high wall climb and then sliding down an inflatable slide. At the end of the final leg you met up with your partner to complete the final obstacles. A 13 foot wall climb and rope ladder down, then on to the mud pit. On your

  • Comments: water stops at each "obstacle". Even with the fog, they started on time (which I am sure made some people upset, because they got DQ'd for not starting in the right wave). Someone was taking pictures, so I may get them eventually.. we'll see.

  • Comments: This race was a blast! I was so glad Ted and I found "each other" to do it. We did DQ because we didn't start in the right wave...because we started in the Co-Ed wave, not the wave that Ted and his previous partner were to start in. I will definitely do this again next year!!

  • Comments: These are all guesstimates. This was a great race compared to last year's Mud Fest. I am disappointed that I did not run whole time. I wasn't so much fatigued as I was sleep deprived.
