Here are a few shots that I thought I would share from the 1st Presidio of Monterey Mud Run today. This was the big mud pit and last obsticle the runners had to go through before the finish.

Nice shots. But they look too clean when coming out. Seems like they should be muddier.:)

I did a race called The Leatherman which is run every year in a park behind my house. It's a 10k. At the end is a much smaller obstacle, only it's deep, thick mud, almost like quicksand, and it's all you can do to not let it suck your sneakers right off.

LOL... Funny you should say that! At the time I was thinking this was the cleanest mud I ever saw.
