Dirty Dash!

What do you get when you cross a 

10K running race with

boot-camp style obstacles, 

crazy costumes and 

a whole lot of mud? 

It's called the Dirty Dash!

I participated in this fun-mud-run yesterday and it was an absolute blast! 

By far the most fun 6-mile run I've ever done...

Our friend Michelle organized a team of friends, officially called team "Dipstix". 

We dressed as '80's sports fanatics. 

Here are the before and after pictures of our team:

"Before":  All Clean and ready to run!

"After": Happily muddy

I was a little nervous about the race, because I've only been running 2-4 miles regularly, and there's a bit of altitude here in Park City (almost 7,000 feet).  But, the obstacles broke up the trail running and really, it was more about having fun than getting a 'personal record' (did they even time us?  I'm not sure!). Not to say it wasn't a great workout... I'm definitely feeling it today! 

To give you an idea of the route, here is a map from the Dirty Dash website (http://www.thedirtydash.com/).  If you love running and/or having fun, you HAVE to try one of these!  

Seriously... do it! It's so much dirty fun.
