Today was the first Primal Mud Run. This event was hosted by the same group who created The Metro Dash. Having done the Spartan Race and The Metro Dash, I had an idea what I was getting myself into. Well I can tell you the biggest thing that made it a challenge was the 4.4° that is was not to mention the wind. I would say this was more of a run than it was an obstacle course more so because the obstacles were really spread out and that there was a lot of running! They said it was a 5k but I'm pretty sure it was longer. That's ok though I still had a blast. Started off with a 10'' wall climb then flipping a tire 8 times. After that you climbed the 20-25'' cargo net up and over then ran in this tunnel they made. Next thing was carrying a sandbag around a circle. Well the circle took you to the first water obstacle. You just had to walk through waist deep water. Did I mention it was cold outside? Yeah the water was freezing. Unfortunately for me, I slipped on one of the rocks and went all the way in the water slamming my knee on said rock. Yeah it hurt a lot. Couldn't stop though! I believe after that we went running for a bit to get to the next water obstacle which was a nice big pond. They had 6 barrels floating and you had to go under them. As you kept going, the water got deeper. To the point that I couldn't stand up in it. I don't think I have ever felt anything so cold in my life for so long. We all managed to push through though. After that, more running (mind you this is on a farm and there are a lot of big hills), hopping over hay bales, monkey bars, wall climbs, up and over, a mini mud pit. The best obstacle was the slip and slide. That was AWESOME. Who doesn't love a huge slip and slide. The scenery was really nice too. Well it is nice if you like the country like scenery which I do.
