Bill and I traveled to Richmond over the weekend to compete in our second "Muddy Buddy" race. In the race, you alternate mountain biking and trail running with obstacles in between and then the big finale...slither through the mud pit together to reach the finish line. Thank You! to the clean, kind stranger who agreed to take this picture after the race.
But...slithering through the mud was not enough for us this year. We decided to add a camping twist to our adventure. Bill and I are very inexperienced campers but we seemed to have the right gear and attitude for the rainy camping challenge. Thank goodness for the rain fly and I highly recommend camping cots if they will fit in your tent and you don't have to "backpack" them to your campsite.
Steph and Scott treated us to a fabulous lunch at Lift Coffee Shop and Cafe after the race. I was so excited to see their coffee shop and we had a great time visiting with them and their super-adorable kids who displayed monumental patience enduring the grown-ups' gabfest. The food was great and they even had diet coke for the freaks like me who don't drink coffee.
Last, but not least, a huge thanks to Grandma Linda for watching our kids and taking care of our dogs so Bill and I could roll in the mud together!
