As with some of our adventures we do, we do get some nay Sayers. This was the case with THIS adventure. The Dirty Dash is a 5k run in the mud with obstacles to conquer. They hold the event at the Olympic venue Soldier Hollow, in Heber. We joined in the madness and headed to the starting line. The gun fired and we were off, up the first muddy hill while irrigation sprinlers dowsed us with the cold water. Soon we embraced the whole getting muddy thing and started trying to get as muddy as we could.
After mile 1 the nay sayers admitted they were wrong and in fact it was a lot of fun. (refreshing to hear i must say) Along the way there were hay bails to climb over, pipes to crawl through, wood walls to climb over, tires to run through and a giant blow up slide to go down. At the end before reaching the finish line you had to run, crawl or wade through the "pig pen". A big pool of water and mud. Alas we crossed the finish line.
Now for the clean up, not so much fun. You get to spray off with the ice cold mountain water and freeze!! You can leave your muddy shoes there and they clean and give them to people in need in Africa, of course Madelyn was all over that. So much fun was had that we started planning our family's attire to wear for the next years Dirty Dash.
