Mud Run 2011

Last weekend was the cross country teams annual 'mud run.' Hillcrest uses it as a practice, they don't run it competitively, as a matter of fact, they pride themselves on coming in dead last! Makenna really enjoys the mud run where as Lindsay hates it! Here they are somewhere near the beginning since they aren't very covered in mud, yet! Notice how Lindsay is trying to ward off any mud that might be thrown her way..... Here, they are getting ready to crawl under a barricade and again, Lindsay isn't ready to get down and dirty. She was the last one standing last year too~

Kenna, the mud warrior!

Trudging through the mud towards another barricade, Kenna has no problem digging deep and chillin' in the mud

Kenna stops to pose while coming under the barricade!

Moving along, slowly but surely ~ this course is a 2 mile course. Lindsay had said that they wanted to finish in 59:59 but the teams time was actually a bit faster at 54 minutes. Well beyond the other teams. They stop and play in a canal along the way and just make it a fun event. As I remember last year, they sling mud at the spectators too! Now, fully covered in mud, can you pick Lindsay out?

Kenna and some of her friends, strike a pose!

It was a brutally hot day they tell me (I had to work, so I missed this year). Ali was nice enough to let Lindsay have some of her shaved ice. What a nice treat after a hot, muddy race!

I was really not happy to have to miss this run as I think it's funny to watch them all trudging through mud! Even though Lindsay doesn't enjoy this meet, she'll look back and have fun memories of this event! Kenna, loves it - I think it's her favorite meet of the season!
