On June 6, 2010 my longtime childhood friend and I competed together in the Columbia Muddy Buddy Ride & Run at Joseph D. Grant Park near Mount Hamilton in San Jose. It was 100% Pure Fun! A great way to exercise, have a good time and get down and dirty! Our 2 person team was sponsored by www.joy4sports.com
Team Smarty Pants
and our signature name, Team Smarty Pants, active wear for women.
- Ideal for running, biking, hiking and walking
We both embraced the obstacles by walking across a balance beam, scaling a 20 ft. inflatable wall, sliding down the other side, crawling under cargo netting and navigating a 7 ft. wall. The best part was yet to come as we approached
the 50 ft. mud pit! We were advised from other contestants to stay off your knees as much as possible, so a belly dive seemed appropriate. To our surprise, we came in 1st place in our age division and received cool medals.

Unfortunately our personal muddy buddy photos of the day were lost in the camera. We have great memories stored as fun, friendship and comaraderie will be remembered. I highly encourage families of all ages to particpate in the fitness yet frivilous event.
