So, Jared and I signed up to do this crazy crazy race. 13+ miles (my garmin at the end read 14.98 miles) and 26 obstacles. He wanted to do it last year but I was running a half marathon that day, so instead he stayed home with the kids. I told him we'd do it this year but it wasn't untill I saw an Amazon Local voucher for half off at the last minute that we decided to do it.
It was really fun. The weather was awesome, we were with friends, one of which who didn't really run, which was ok. It's hard to run with mud in your shoes anyway.
Every obstacle you can't master, you have to do 30 burpees. I hate burpees. Luckily, I only couldn't complete 4 of the obstacles… same as Jared. Except that he totally did the raise a bucket of concrete one and I could not, but I totally schooled him on the climb across a rope hanging over a lake and ring a cowbell one. I'm still proud of that.
See? Isn't he just a stud? You should have seen him, just leaping over those 8 foot walls…. amazing. That's my man.
It took us 6 1/2 hours… I'm pretty sure that's not something to brag about. But it was FUN! I was hungry by the end, that's pretty much my worst complaint. A few days later I was covered in bruises and a rope burn, but to be honest, I expected much worse. Good day with the hubs.
