Dirty Dash '11

Time to get down and dirty! My girlfriends and I did the Dirty Dash at Soldier Hollow and it was tough… but so fun! The course is covered in mud, obstacles and fierce water hoses. The race began with a mud pit, and then we were up against giant hay bales we had to climb over and muddy tunnels we had to crawl through. We scaled walls as giant fans blew water every which way! Near the end, we slid down a ginormous slip n’ slide! (yay!) And for the big finale... we waded through the pig sty in waist-deep mud to get to the finish line.
It was the hardest race I’ve ever done but I’d do it again! We had a muddy fun time!

Hi, I was googling Dirty Dash and came across your blog. I am trying to get some info on the race and wondering if you have any training tips. Did you do hill runs? Or just run? Do you recommend swim/other goggles or sunglasses for running thru the deep mud? (I have contacts). Any other tips? Did you do the 5 k or 10 k. Is there any running on pavement or is it all in mud, or some on grass? Thanks! Jill (rjalston@shaw.ca)
