The Dirty Dash...Again

Dave has already done the Dirty Dash once before (read about his first time here), and despite the frigid shower of death and the numbness of his limbs, he decided to do it again. I was definitely not going to participate, but his sister Lauren and her friend Ally wanted to do it with him. So, the Dirty Dash was run. :)

 Before

 ...and after!

Dave actually got a LOT less muddy this time, and I think it was because he ran the race so much earlier. Last year he ran at 1:00 or 2:00, I can't remember which, but this year he ran at 9:30. I think there were less people that had muddied up the course, and it was way more water than it was mud. 

 I love this picture of Dave. Everyone had a really hard time getting over this obstacle at the end. It was so funny to watch everyone. 

Ally looks tough, don't you think??

 Although the course was less muddy, the showers were the same. There were still two options: Pay for a hot shower ($6), or take a free shower with frigid death water coming out of the hoses. Dave, of course, chose to take the free option, even though it was awful. I got a good picture of each one of them showing a pretty good suffer face.

Despite the suffer faces and the awful shower, they still had a great time. It was much more pleasant than last year, so I think Dave might do it again next year. We'll have to see. As for me? No way. I'll never do it. Someone has to take the pictures, right?? :)
