Steve and I did a Mud Run last weekend. It was the Rock N' Mud run (http://www.gladiatorrocknrun.com). Sadly, because of the drought we are in, they had a lot of restrictions on water usage, and it was mostly a dust run. They had mud at the end of the race which was actually refreshing since it was a little cold.
If you have ever been to Joseph D Grant park, you know - there is NO SHADE there at all. It was trail running at its best. Obstacles included:
- Burpees with a cinderblock
- Rope climb
- Net Climb
- Carrying bags of rice
- Carrying tires
- Carrying wood with a team
- Crawling in mud, and under nets
- Climbing up walls
- Monkey bars, and more
More tough than the obstacles was just the trail running (or walking... as we did at times). There is some pretty good elevation, steep climbs, lots of dust and loose dirt, and like I mentioned, no shade.
Steven of course rocked the course and helped push me through some of the obstacles. I was really proud I made it through the monkey bars. In past mud runs, I always seem to fall after the first few bars.
I am not sure we will do this one again, but we both agree, we love Mud Runs and need to do them more often!
After the mud run, we rushed home and cleaned up quickly - we had a birthday hockey game to attend for Steve! This was my first time playing with majority of advance hockey players. It was a lot of fun but really challenging. Our legs were already sore from the mud run earlier, but somehow we survived it and had a great game that night.
This weekend, the girls and I went to Bethel Island for some sun & waves! Such a great time! We enjoyed kayaking along the Delta. This year we went a lot of father. Boy, our arms were sore after! We also got to enjoy some boating, where we go to wake board, water ski and tube.
