Dirty Dash

WARNING: Lots of pictures... but well worth your time :)

My family ran in the Dirty Dash 5K race at Soldier's Hollow this weekend. Hands down one of the best times of my life! Our team name was "Runaway Bride" in honor of Chris and Cameryn who are getting married on Saturday. The wedding party is show below: If this picture shows up on awkwardfamilyphotos.com I won't be totally surprised.

Bride and groom: Chris and Cameryn

Starting line dash. Running up a hill full of mud was not very easy.




There were lots of obstacles along the way: Jumping over hay bales and hurdles, skipping through tires, crawling through tunnels, and sloshing through mud, and finishing in a puddle of mud that was waist deep.










We stayed in our "V" formation throughout most of the race... We must hold the wedding line!



Photo taken, just as dad took a fall in the mud



Giant slip n' slide


Cheering on the bride and groom to the finish line







I don't think it gets muddier than this. We look like chocolate statues.






We made it!


Coldest shower I have ever taken in my entire life... I really almost passed out. There were piles and piles of shoes and clothes by the showers from everyone just stripping down and leaving the dirty behind. The shoes will be cleaned up really good and donated to Africa.

SO FUN! I highly recommend this race to anyone who likes to get dirty and have a good time!

Geoff and I were laughing out loud at this post (which was a big problem because we are in a library.) Loved the pictures. Looked like such a blast!
