As some of you may or may not know, a few of us FitWitters entered the Muddy Buddy Ride and Run Adventure Race this past weekend. The race is done in teams of two. Both partners start at the same time, one running and one biking. The course was approximately 6 miles long and was separated into 5 legs by obstacles along the way. Assuming that the biker is traveling faster than the runner, the biker will first approach the obstacle transition area. The biker will drop the bike and conquer the obstacle and start running to the 2nd transition/obstacle. The runner will then approach the first transition area, conquer the obstacle, find the bike and start riding to the 2nd transition/obstacle area. The teams will continue to leap frog throughout the course switching between biking and running. At the end of the race, teams will have to conquer the famous Mud Pit before crossing the finish line together.
So this past Saturday, on this rainy and muggy early morning (for most, right Ed?), 5 FitWit teams took the challenge. Some teams came more prepared than others – some showed late without a helmet (right Ed?), some didn’t even know how to operate their bikes (right Ed?), others left in a different wave and finished extremely confident they would claim the FitWit Crown (right Mark & Jess). By the end, all had a good time, despite the scraped up and bloody knees - I even hear that a few enjoyed the showers more than the actual race!!! But without much astonishment, the FitWit Crown, this year, goes to Andrea & Jerome who performed a flawless race, leaving Mark & Jess flabbergasted and devasted knowing they came so close to being victorious…
Here are the results from the race…pictures will be added later…
