Muddy Buddy Nashville

This race was absolutely TFC! Honestly I can't believe how fun it was.

Participants entered in 2-person teams. The 6.5 mile course was divided into 5 segments. On each segment one team-mate ran while the other mountain biked. At the checkpoints there were obstacle courses such as balance beam, rock climbing wall, rope nets, and the final chaos:

Okay...and now for some post-race photos:

Not to brag, but Susan and I were the second overall co-ed team. Not to mention only three mens teams beat us.
