We left Pumpkin's swim meet to get to the run. We were there a bit early. There were lots of folks in costumes. Amazing! It was so hot outside. I was surprised so many stayed in costume and braved the heat. We found a spot with a/c and hung out for a bit.
They started the race in waves. Here the guys are waiting for the race to start.
Pumpkin and Peanut were a two man team. I was so proud of them. They stayed together throughout the run. There were six obstacles spread through the 5k. The last obstacle was a 50ft. mud pit. Pumpkin used those strong arms to pull him through the mud. What a mess!
Peanut was right there too! He was their team leader and headed to the tables to sign in their finish.
The Big Guy ran as an individual, but tried to stay with the boys. The heat and hills took their toll on him. But, he made it! Who knew mud could be refreshing?!?
I did not want to get anywhere near them!
They coined this one the mud tan. Needless to say, two pairs of shoes were added to the trash.
The fire department brought their truck and helped with the clean up. They built a hose manifold. Race participants got to hose themselves off. They went from hot to showering with cold water!
The Big Guy was helping Peanut get the mud off!
Fun was had by all. The boys are waiting for official pictures to be posted. And, they are excited to do it again next year!!
