yesterday my friend and i raced (or, participated is probably a better verb choice) in the stone bay mud run on base at camp lejeune. it was a 4-mile off-road, obstacle-laden course at the stone bay rifle range. along the winding mud-ridden forest paths were obstacles including fallen tree hurdles, tire agility, hills galore, scaling walls, tunnels, multiple mud pits and crawling through mud under a netted (apparently barbed wire was a safety concern?!) clearance. it was by far the most fun race i have ever done before (aside from triathlons, that is)! since all obstacles were optional though, it was impossible to accurately gauge race times, thus why i say 'participated' instead of 'raced' :) we raced as a team - we were the 'sloppy (g.i.) janes' - get it? sloppy joes only the female version, incorporating both mud and military? pretty clever. this one is DEFINITELY on the schedule again for next year!!
