The Dirty Dash

Lizzy, Gabrielle, and I decided to get dirty!
While driving to work one day I noticed the Billboard for the Dirty Dash. I had to look into it. I begged Rodger to do it with me, his response, "I'll do it if YOU really want me to, but I really don't want to do it." Fine. I ended up having a great time with these two ladies and got the best of both worlds-my own camera man, Rodger.

The Dirty Dash is known for people dressing up in crazy costumes. We decided to go with the overalls/sport bras look, thanks to Lindsey. We looked pretty cute.

It was located in Midway, Utah at Solider Hollow on Saturday September 24th. It was the perfect day. A bit chilly at first but once we started running, it was the right temperature.

Here we are posing like a man turning into a pig. This is located on the back of the shirts we got.

Walking to the Start Line. I'm not going to lie, I had major butterflies.
This was my first 10K-6.2 miles.

Our start time was 10:00. We were literally at the start of the line debating if this was a good idea or not. We looked back at the 75 or so people behind us and then looked forward at the muddy hill we had to start off at. We thought we were going to get trampled.

Ready....Set....Go! And we were off! This was by far the hardest part, it was so slippery and muddy you would slide everywhere (Notice Gabs).

I had such a good time. I could have done it 3 more times.

I loved my team members.

There were about 15-20 different obstacles. This was the big slide. Other obstacles included:
-Running over hay bales.
-Sliding down mud pits.
-Using rope up a muddy hill
-Climbing through long tubes
-Pulling yourself up over walls (we climbed under most)
-Swimming through a muddy lake
-Running through tires
-Balancing beams
-Rope Swing
-The final mud pit

Waiting our turn for the final obstacle/finish line.

One of my favorite pictures.

My all time favorite picture. Just take a gander at Gabs face. And Lizzy-can you even tell that that is her? And myself just enjoying myself completely. Priceless!

And then we did some tackling for the crowd.

I tried to tackle Lindsey, lost my balance, and she threw me over her side. Don't worry, the very first obstacle I threw her down to the ground. It was perfect and very unexpected on her part.

We finished in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cole was explaining to us before the race that he guaranteed we would take at least 3 hours to complete. I kept telling him he is crazy, who does he think we are? The whole time I noticed we were passing people that started at 9:20...9:40...and so on. I knew we were making great time. Boy did we prove him wrong!

Best time of my life!

A couple of different times Lizzy and I kept mentioning how we wished Chelsea and Ashley were with us. Next year, right?! Please don't be pregnant.

The boys were GREAT supporters. We couldn't have done it without them.

They were prepared with our towels, drinks, and smiles.

The worst part....the cold, freezing, unbearable showers afterwards. We should have paid the $4 for hot showers. Note to self for next time. Also to bring Q-tips.
I can't wait for next year. It honestly was so much fun.
P.S. The shirts they gave out for participating in the race were adorable too-always a plus.

P.P.S. After I got out of the shower at home, Rodger says "I really wish I was the one to clean out your ears." I said, "Go for it." And he did. He loves things like that. Silly boy.
P.P.S.S. I am no longer private in case you haven't noticed.
