This was absolutely the craziest race I have done. It was pouring rain and cold. Just look at the pictures...so much mud.
Emily was only a few months post partum but wanted to do the race. I told her I would stay with her if she wanted to do it. James couldn't do the race, he was with the kids. Megan, Robin and the boys did the race too.
Everyone else got ahead of Emily and I. We were ok with that. We just went at Emily's pace. Well we went at her pace for awhile but then it got just too cold. She would walk and run but I finally told her she needed to keep running so we could try to stay warm but mostly so we could just finish the race. Emily got to the point that she would just skip the obstacle and keep running or walking. I would do the obstacle and then catch up with her. We were so glad to be done. Robin was waiting for us at the finish line. Megan and the boys were in an outhouse staying out of the rain and trying to keep warm. Emily went straight to her car. Robin told me to go to the van and he would get everyone and they would meet me there. I went to the van got in, started the van and sat there shivering. I called Melissa to warn Jordan how bad it was. He had an afternoon start time. I could hardly talk I was shivering so bad. Everyone else got to the van and asked me why I hadn't gotten out of my wet clothes. I hadn't even thought of it. I'm sure I was getting hypothermic. I tried to get them off but couldn't. I was shaking so badly. The boys had to undress me. Awkward! For some reason I didn't have dry clothes, I wrapped myself up in a blanket and drove home that way. We stopped at Timmies and got some hot drinks.
Honestly the craziest race to date!
