Mad Mud Fun!!

Myself and a couple of my old coworkers decided to do the Mad Mud Run in Scottsdale this past weekend. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into and I was a little nervous before the race. The race took place at MacDonald's Ranch up in North Scottsdale and they set up a 4 mile loop including boot camp style obstacles and a giant mud pit at the very end! When the race first started they had kids lined up shooting us with super soakers. I wasn't too worried about the obstacles, except for the wood wall that we had to climb over. Sure enough the wall proved a little problematic, but I was able to overcome the challenge (with a little help from my teammates). I would definitely recommend doing this race with someone else. I know next year I am going to make Aaron do it with me. It wouldn't be as much fun doing it solo, because of all the obstacles and the mud pit. They put ropes across the top of the mud pit, so you have to go underneath and get really muddy!! Aaron was the picture taker and he didn't get any of the actually mud pit experience, but here are a few pics from before and after the race.
