Mud Run 2010

Christian and his cousin Brittany participated in a 1K mud run a few weekends ago. They had such a great time and helped each other out through out the course. It was held at the San Bernardino County Sheriffs facility. At the beginning of the race a fire truck sprayed them all with their fire hose to get them wet so the dirt would stick. They then ran for about a quarter of a mile and then the obstacles began. They had to run through mud pits, but Christian decided to swim through most of them. They had to run up and over about 15 mud hills and then go over cement barriers. They were both extremely tired when they were finished but they did really great. Brittany was a little nervous since it was her first time and didn't really get dirty till about the end. Ryan wanted to be in the race as well so he tried to get dirty every chance I looked away. At one point he got stuck in the mud and a nice fireman pulled him out. They had water trucks at the end so they could wash themselves off but it was really cold so they didn't get very clean. Once they got home we made them go straight to the showers. They had so much fun they can't wait to do it again next year.
