Last Sunday Liz and I did the dirty dash- a 3 mile mud run filled with mud pits, obstacles and muddy participants! Right past the starting line was the first mud pit (of about 4 or 5) so right away we were filthy! Then we had to jump over hay bales, climb over walls, under walls, across monkey bars and up ropes. At every mud pit Liz tried to ambush me and push/pull me deeper into the mud. She drove, so the joke's on her! She is lucky she brought garbage bags to cover her seats otherwise I would have rubbed my muddy body all over it!
Saturday I volunteered at the Denver Century ride, helping out at the packet pickup table and with the kid's parade ride. It was such a cool event to see! All the early morning bikers (for the longer distance rides- 100 miles, 75 miles etc.) wore spandex on their tiny butts and had beautiful bikes that filled me with bike envy! I like to think that if I had my good bike in Denver I would be a Century ride participant, but honestly I'm not sure I could ride a hundred miles anymore.
Thursday was the Solstice ride from City Park to Wash park. It was super cool to ride through the botanic gardens and Hi-Five all the Americorps NCCC kids working as course marshals. The ride ended at the VOC office in Wash Park for the burrito/beer picnic and I was able to return the tape measure I accidentally walked off with from the Red Rocks volunteer event. I met up with MG and Steve at the ride and had a chance to catch up. Hopefully I'll get to see them again before I leave.
Tomorrow Liz and I are going to the Renaissance Festival!
