I did my first mud run today. The Muddy Dash in Houston.
If you haven't done one, I highly recommend it. It was a freaking blast.
I was a bit leery due to the cooler weather we've been having. Our start time was 11:00 a.m. and the sun was out all morning. Once I took that first plunge in the mud, it was no issue. My body adjusted rather quickly.
I learned quickly that sticking to the edges of the mud pits made getting out easier. The middle of the pits wore down quickly. Also sliding in is the butt first was the best way to enter. You do not want to dive head first as the pits are to shallow.
My next run is probably going to be the Houston Margarita 5K run.
