Mud run season is in full swing. Okay, so I’m
signed up for one a month between now and July, and I’m hoping to extend that
through at least October. (August is going to be the hard month to
find one for). So it’s hard to call it a season. But I
have done my first mud run of 2015.
And I started it out where I often do, Irvine Lake. This
is still a favorite mud run, and this time didn’t disappoint. The
course was pretty much what I expected, including the mud slide. It
was a bit more popular this year, so I only did it once since I didn’t want to
wait in the line any more for it. Still, the line wasn’t nearly as
long as it had been in the past. It helps that it is near the end
instead of near the beginning.
There was mud. Lots of mud. And a few
climbing obstacles. That was actually the one thing they added I
didn’t especially care for, ropes over a rock obstacle. I had a hard
time getting my feet in the ropes, and I hate heights, so it wasn’t the best
for me. Still, I did it successfully.
They must have had a problem with their showers because they
had a water truck spraying us down next to the shower. I think I
lucked out since I could get into a group that was being hosed down as soon as
I finished. Later, it looked like people were having to wait for a
water truck to come back.
Afterwards, I met up with some friends for lunch at a
Mexican place they found on line. Then we all headed to one of their
apartments and played Ticket to Ride. The first time I’d played, so
I didn’t do super well, but it was fun, and I completely enjoyed getting to see
them.
