Mudathletes

Well,  I ran my first Mudathlon and had a mucking good time!   With big, thick mud pits at multiple locations throughout the course and 40 obstacles, this race was my most challenging to date!  After the race, I was awarded a medal and got to rinse off in a creek. I guess it was cleaner than the mud puddles.  The best part about the race was the mudslide.  It’s a lot like a water slide, but a huge mud puddle awaits you at the bottom. I’m instilling some mandatory terminology for the non-mudathletes.

MUDATHLON TERMINOLOGY:

Muck — A dark or black soil; mire; mud. Also a term used in place of profanities by the Mudathlon.

Mud-der — An athlete who performs well in muck, or muddy conditions.

Mud-ath-lete — An athlete who successfully completes the Mudathlon and by doing so has a Mucking Good Time.

Mud-ath-lon — A 3 to 4 mile run consisting of multiple pits of mud, challenging obstacles, and access to post-race beer. An event that is simply fun, forcing even the grouchiest of mucks to have a Mucking Good Time. Products of the Mudathlon are Mudathletes.

We should have some Skinny Mom teams start participating in these runs!  www.mudathlon.com
