Dirty Dash!

As part of team Rambo Runners we dirty dashed our way to the finish line in Spokane a few weeks ago.  The game plan changed a little as the weekend went on.  At first our team consisted of Aunt Rhonda, Shane, Kennedy, Brittany, and I.  Isabella wasn't going to run because she didn't want to get muddy - so very girlie!

Shane decided he would sit out with Isabella and watch us.  When we got to Aunt Rhonda's she had picked up our race packets and t-shirts. She bought a "Little-Piggy" t-shirt for Isabella and got her a team uniform even though she wasn't running.  As we carbo-loaded on yummy spaghetti, Isabella decided she DID want to run!

However, we didn't have a race number for her and the 3 mile run through the mud seemed a little bit too much for her little legs.  So she wore Shane's race number and stayed with him until we got to the mile 2 and then she raced the last mile in with us.  Some of the mud "puddles" we waded through at the beginning of the race were almost as deep as Isabella so it worked out perfectly to have her race the last mile with us.

DURING:

Isabella joined us at mile 2.
She wasn't sure about getting muddy at first but quickly got into it!
The first obstacle for her was the muddy slip and slide:

Isabella's the only one with clean legs!





 We slipped and slode into the root beer break.


 Then a few more obstacles before the finish line:



Isabella climbed the first time with some help and then decided to climb it again solo:

 Kennedy and Brittany climbed the really tall obstacle:
