We drove a considerable distance to this one only because we heard great things. Our race buddy was suppose to go with us but woke up sick. Boooo.
Again, GPS took us to nowhere. Therefore, we had to figure out where to go. $10 bucks to park. We pay so much for these races, I don't see why they have to charge parking on top of it. But they do.
Registration was painless. We headed to our group. Our race time was 10am so didn't have to wait long. We got in the corral to go and were off. This race was no joke. It was tough. Matt struggled on the hills and our team went on while I waited for him. He ensured me I could go ahead but I wasn't going to leave him alone. I didn't want him having a heat stroke or something and not have anyone. Besides, I was tired due to the busy week I had prior and wasn't necessarily enjoying myself.
The obstacles were tough. Not all of them but the majority There was plenty of mud which I like. If I am at a mud run, I expect mud!
The showers were decent. They had large containers of water that wasn't terribly cold due to being in the sun. The showers had hand sprayers and even though the line was really long, it went fairly quickly.
So the review of the event Mud Ninja
Terrain - Hills, mud, obstacles
Organization - organized nicely
Cost - $46/person that included insurance and parking
Time of the race - 10am
Overall - It is a popular race but tough for us.....not sure I would make the drive to do it again. One of my least favorite OCRs.
Swag - medal, tshirt (white, oddly enough)
My Time - not timed
Race #24 (44 total to date)
