Superhero Scramble

Last night, Jeff and I ran our 1st ever mud run/obstacle course challenge. We were a part of a team with our friend and neighbor, Luisa.....Jeff being the only male representative on the team. It was called The Legion of Lu....clearly Luisa formed the team =) The SUPERHERO SCRAMBLE was 4-6 Miles of wicked terrain, located at the Waldo Motocross Speedway, with 20+ obstacles including major water crossings and the SUPER SLIME, located at the bottom of a HUGE waterslide! This course is not for the weak....that is for certain! It was so much fun running it with Jeff and definitely pushed me beyond any limits I thought I had. I was able to complete all of the obstacles withe the exception of the final incline rope wall....that was impossible after utilizing every last bit of strength you had completing the rest of the course, not to mention the wet muddy shoes that didn't allow for any traction. After a few attempts, I had to go up the side of the scaffolding to reach the top of the slid. Jeff made it to the top on his own, on his 1st attempt mind you, but got stuck hanging on to the top ledge and couldn't pull himself up.....who could with those long legs anyway!?!? One of the race employees had to hoist him up. We ended up finishing the race in just over 70 minutes. I am hooked now and can't wait to compete in our next race!
