It's called Mudquest. The course we ran was 3.5 miles long with 21 obstacles. Most of the obstacles involved some kind of water and mud. We went into a creek (which was about 4 ft deep) about 4 times, then had to use a rope to climb the steep embankment to get out. That wore me out! It was a total blast though.
As promised, here are some pictures the husband took of us. He only managed to make it to a few of the obstacles. But he did a good job.
This is our pre-race, clean picture.
And we're off!
The tire challenge. They stacked 300 tires and you had to cross them. It was pretty easy. The husband thought I would totally crash on this. Klutz is my middle name! But I did awesome!
This was called the dragon's tail. You made your way to the end and jumped off in the tank.
I had the worst time gettin' out of the water obstacles. I always fell down coming out.
This was the last obstacle of the course. I thought I'd have some fun. I ended up with mud up my nose from the dive in!
You had to crawl under the wires to get out.
We finished!! There was a lady taking pictures at the finish line. She told me to pose like this.
BFF sharing her mud with my face!
Post-race muddy picture.
After the race, you got the mud washed off by fire truck hose. They were gettin' me good!
Had to make sure my butt was clean!
As a prize for finishing, each contestant got 2 free beers. I gave mine to my coworker who came out to cheer me on.
The race was a BLAST! I will so do it again. The husband thinks we are crazy. But really, I'll do anything for a crown!
UPDATE: Found a video on the race website, kinda gives you a little better idea of the race.

Congratulations to you! :)
Look at you tough girl! That looks like so much fun! Hope everything is well with you!
I bet you got one good work out with that race! Looks like a blast though!
That looks like such fun... It may even give me some encouragement to get to where I could make 3.5 miles. The obstacles look like a blast AND a good workout! Thanks to the husband for the photos, too. The only thing that would have made this post any better was if Diesel had made the run with you all!

Wow, that looked a lot more fun than taking a shot to the throat, head, leg. I guess you noticed the guy in the first picture totally checking you out. That was pretty funny. And my cowboy said "nice muscles" just now as he was walking by : )
OMG that looks like so much fun. Guess if your husband calls you crazy, I should join the crazy bunch :)
You really are my hero!

How cool! It looks like it was a BLAST, and if I ever get invited to one, I'll be sure to put your name down! ;)
