Comments: Rugged Maniac is a very well organized race group--they are national, and I believe this the first time they were near Sacramento. I was a little bummed that they didn't have the fire jump obstacle at the end, but with the dry conditions, it was probably a wise choice to omit it. Besides, I just wanted to do it for an awesome photo op---these guys do FREE professional race photos! I think there may be some cool ones coming from it. The funny part for me was hearing comments from obvious first timers--mainly young women--who were disgusted by not only the mud, but the fact that there "was probably MORE than just MUD in these ditches!" ---Uh yeah, hello...equestrian center??? What do you think? I laughed a lot at those. I would totally endorse this as a good introduction to Obstacle Course Racing/Mud Running.
