Muddy Buddy Chicago 2010

In two days Heather and I are getting ready to do Muddy Buddy race!
This is a race that some friends of ours told us about last year and couldn't say enough what a great time it was. So this year Heather and I have decided to give it a go and have been training and preparing for it!

The race starts at 7am and is about 5.5 miles long. The race starts with one team member on the bike and one team member getting ready to run. At the first mile the person on the bike completes the obstacle then starts to run. The person who was running does the obstacle and then gets on the bike. You repeat this process all the way to the end. There you wait for your team mate and complete a long crawl through the mud pit all the way to the finish line.

While we own a number of bikes and are enthusiastic bike riders, neither one of us owns a mountain bike. However, this is another example of the miraculous ways our community comes to help us and our friendSilvau loaned us his Trek Mountain bike!
So armed with this nice bike we'll see how we do, how much fun we have, and how dirty we get!
Stay tuned for results and pictures!
