| 5k Foam Fest, AZ - April 2012 |
Race outfit all laid out the night before! I am ready, I did the Warrior Dash, I can do this! 5k Foam Fest - Mud, Foam, and All Out Fun! How bad tough can this one be?
We showed up early, race bibs on. Heats going off every 15 minutes, and this time I have team mates to run with! I remember thinking this is going to be a blast! Looking half ridiculous, I already feel like a mud run veteran.
We line up, and take off, running through the Arizona Desert, sun is shinning, people shuffling along. I am ready to dive in, ready to cool off in this Foam. Well, didn't play out like I thought, we reached the first water station and they were out of drinking water, but thats not all, the obstacles didn't have enough water either. What was suppose to be slip and slides, turned into vinyl sandpaper across your skin. Worst race ever!!!! They actually ended up canceling it by the time my wave crossed the finish line because of the lack of water!
We did make it though 1 mud pit, that had a half hour back up, and it wasn't even real barb-wire. Such a disappointment!
The light at the end of the tunnel, earned some race bling and there was a bar near by to enjoy a couple of beers!
