I ran the Smoky Hill High School Muddy Buffalo Run on June 1, 2013. This is a fund raiser for the Smoky Hill Cross Country team and a fun events for the neighborhood parents, runners, high school students and teachers and the cross country team and alumni.
It's a run obstacle course that's a 1 mile loop starting on the track and going over hey bales, through a maze of reeds, crab walking uphill, through tires, of course the mud, hills and back on the track.
The parent community race does 2 loops, so 2 miles total.
I might not normally blog this race, but I won the parent/community/student race this year. Ran 13:48. About a minute and a half faster than last year similar course. It's not very often if ever I WIN a race so I had to blog it. Last year Bill beat me, I won this year because he's a bit injured and I'm in better shape. And I wanted it. I saw the tape for the kids race and thought, I've never taken the tape in a race I want to do that today.
Finally I get to take the tape and win a race. I tried to make it dramatic for the camera, in my head this was a much cooler picture. Maybe I should have gone for the lean.
First Lap, leading the field through the Reed Maze
Rounding the Corner after the hills and the mud pit.
Of course I had some bloody knees, some rocks in the mud pit got me.

Gina ran too, her first race in a while, this was a goal for her though. She did great, even got a medal for 3rd female.
