Comments: I have no idea on my splits, I wasn't going to sent my watch through the mud pit. I bike/ran/bike/ran/bike/ran; my partner the opposite. we ended up WELL matched, I passed her on the last leg about 100 yds from the finish. Leg one was a tough climb, I walked the bike up some of it, with runners passing me! egads, how demoralizing. But then reached the first obstacle, a 6 foot climbing wall, vaulted that and set off running after dousing self in water. The run was mostly downhill and a general breeze. next obstacle was a A-frame of bars to weave body over/under, again pretty simple. Hope had placed the bike JUST perfectly, I dropped from the obstacle and there it was waiting for me! Screamed down hill to the next obstacle - well rode the brakes behind some more timid riders who couldn't move right. That's OK, I was having fun! 3rd obstacle was a rope ladder to slide. more water and run to final balance beam. quick ride to mud pit. Post race
Warm down: energy drink. "shower" in cold hose water, change clothes at car, and off to drink beer. Had some crispy snappeas for snack. Was great to "hang out" in a beer "garden" reliving my twenties - when was the last time this mom of two simply hung out to drink?? We cheered the DFL team through the mud! What limited your ability to perform faster: the temperature and training. Last updated: 2008-04-27 12:00 AM
