The Muddy buddy

Last Sunday, hub and Brian participated in the Muddy buddy race here in Portland. Brian has enjoyed this race numerous times in chicago, but travelled to Portland to experience it with his father. Brandon flew up from California to offer support and encouragement.

What is a Muddy Buddy Race you ask? Well: Muddy Buddy is all about having fun with a friend, family member, partner or co-worker! Teams of two traverse a 6-7 mile off-road course and 5 obstacles. At the start of the race, one team member will run and one will ride the bike. At the 1st obstacle, the rider will drop the bike, complete the obstacle, and begin running. The runner will arrive, complete the obstacle, find their bike and begin riding. Teams will continue leapfrogging each other through the entire course. At the end of the race, racers crawl through the infamous Mud Pit crossing the finish line together as official “Muddy Buddies”!

And so it begins
