New Year, New Challenge
At 12:01am on New Years I signed up for the Camp Pendelton Mud Run after my friend and 3 day team mate Cindy talked me into registering for the run in June. Last year she was saying how fun the Mud Run is and how we needed to sign up to do the run in 2011. So flash forward to New Years eve and she brings up the run again. She says we need to do the Mud Run at Camp Pendelton and that we need to sign up at Midnight because it fills up fast. Only 6000 participants are able to register, since the event sells out so fast the event is held on 3 different days giving participants a better chance of getting registered.
So both Cindy and I signed up along with our husbands for the Sunday, June 5the Mud Run. So now the challegne is training for the event. The Mud Run is a 10k obstacle course through the mud, held at Camp Pendelton. The course has hills, tire obstacles, river crossings, two 5-foot walls with mud on both sides, tunnel crawl, slippery hill climb, and the final 30-foot mud pit. This should be interesting, I the longest run I have done is a 5k and my husband has never ran before.
Let the training begin. This should be dirty and fun. Well at least dirty.
Has anyone trained for something like this before? If so share you thoughts on training and preparing for the event.
