Well, this race was a hoax to begin with...just found that out today. I never did an obstacle/mud race and this being the first one didn't make chances of doing another one any better. It was put together poorly, no aid stations, website was offline the next day, I don't think they donated anything they said they were going to...yeah it was a pretty big scam.

Good thing was I went with my fitness group (mainly consisting of friends and friends of friends) and we made a good time of it. There was a mud pit at the finish line and we kept getting in there tackling our fellow Fit Lifestyle (my fitness group) group members. Took tons of photos, got muddier and took more photos and then jumped in the lake to get all the mud off. It was a good outing for the group and we ended up enjoying the crappy even on our own.

ehh

If it's in Chicago and it's called Mud Wars...DONT DO IT!!!!!!!
