Muddy Buddy Ride & Run 2008
I temporarily lifted my shun on Zach so we could team up for the 2008 Muddy Buddy Ride & Run in Richmond, VA. After lots of driving and very little sleep, we made the check-in at around 6:00am on Sunday. Team Science & Science finished the course in 49:37 - good for 12th place in our division. But hey, they don’t give medals for 12th place.
We both agreed that the distances were shorter than we expected and we could have pushed harder, but it was also my first time biking in any competition and Zach’s pedals stink. The whole course was 6-7 miles with 5 obstacles - including the famous mud pit at the end. The hardest part of the day was finding the GD bike at the checkpoint - we need to devise a system for this next year…when we come to win this thing.
