The Gauntlet: The Aftermath

Well as you may know I ran the Gauntlet last Sunday in Essex, which was a mud obstacle run and boy was it hard. There were mud pits, walls and hay barrels you had to climb over and a tiny lake that you had to swim through (plus many little obstacles), I felt like I was in some army bootcamp! I got through the obstacles with a few scratches, which were mainly from the stinging nettles that were everywhere. But I did end up tripping over a twig haha (doh!). Although the race was hard it was so much fun and everyone was so nice, they'd help you climb out of the mud and their families would cheer you on when you ran past them. Anddddd the best part was that I ran the race in 1:06:52 and finished 69th out of 478 people. Which is pretty cool for my first ever mud run :)

Because we were preoccupied with nerves, we forgot to take a picture of us before the run but here are a few during and after the run.

so much mud everywhere!

There should be a dvd coming out soon... so keep your eyes peeled for that.
