Upon the immediate return from our honeymoon we repacked and headed to Chicago for the Muddy Buddy race with our friends Osi and Enola. We had a fun day wandering around Chicago and then on Sunday got up early for our race. It was much more intense than we expected. It was 5.6 miles or something like that of running and biking- in a fair amount of mud obviously. The biking was ridiculously hard (thanks to the mud and hills) and the running was just tough because I wasn't in shape to slosh through mud with water-filled running shoes.
It is called Muddy Buddy because it is a team event. We had a competition- girls vs boys (they won by 2 minutes). They started over an hour before us and so were already cleaned off when we finished (hence they are clean in the pictures). The end of the race is a swim through a mud pit which ensure that your entire body is covered in mud. It was a blast!
