I must admit I was a bit disappointed by the mud run. It was a 5K, which was the only distance they
offered, but even for that, we did the same course twice. That’s right, they didn’t have enough space
to set up a 5K course. And the obstacles
were a bunch of climb over stuff.
Definitely not my favorite obstacle.
They did have us going through a couple of concrete tubes big enough we could
stand up inside them, and that was cool.
There was an inner tube slide down a huge hill, but the line was long
and I skipped it both times. Honestly,
it looked like it would probably freak me out more than it would be fun, and I
was trying to get to some professional ultimate Frisbee games.
And then, they didn’t have anywhere for us to change
afterwards. Yes, we could get cleaned
up, but no changing tents. Seriously,
that’s a minimum requirement.
This is on top of making us buy a shirt if we wanted
one. Yes, I did buy a shirt since it was
a new to me mud run, something I wasn’t planning to do if I did it again.
Okay, yes, I would consider doing another Mud Factor mud
run, but definitely not at that location.
It would have to be much closer and cheap (I did get a good deal when I
signed up). But this certainly isn’t one
I’m going to go out of my way to do again.
What makes me nervous is that I am signed up for a second
mud run in the same location in July.
Fortunately, it is a different company, so hopefully it will be
better. In the meantime, I’ve got Camp
Pendleton and Irvine Lake on back to back weekends in June again. Looking forward to them as always.
