It had been two months.
It was time to get back in the mud.
Fortunately, I had a fun run scheduled for last
weekend. Spencer and I headed down to Lake Ellsinore
They have most of their obstacles in the middle, including
their mud. That gives you some long
stretches to run, but it’s worth it. The
mud is plentiful, they make you crawl through all of it, and it is deep. I got as muddy as always without even trying.
One highlight was definitely the pit after the tub
crawl. You got muddy no matter how hard
you tried to avoid it. It was deep and
you had a drop off into the mud. Not
much you could do about it.
They also had some thick spots where you pretty much had to
drop and roll.
As always, we took a detour through the lake, which was
fun. We spent some time cleaning off,
but then the final mud pit – the one right before the finish line – got us
again.
I had planned to arrive plenty early because they always
have long lines to pick up your bib and drop off your bag. That wasn’t an issue at all this year. In fact, we had everything and were ready to
run in about 20 minutes. A definitely
improvement over just barely being ready in time in the past.
It’s a long drive – 2 hours one way – and I was trying to
decide if I thought it was worth it. The
answer is a resounding yes. Can’t wait
to go back again next year.
