Louisiana Saturday Night..

Forgot to blog yesterday..whoops!
Guess I should blog about foam fest..here we go! I so was not expecting it to be the way it was..hope you're ready! We started in a foam pit..ran for maybe a quarter of the mile to the first ditch..okay. Imagine going to Tunica Hills after a freakin monsoon hit. Ya know, that clay mud? Okay, imagine 3 miles of it. We made it through the first ditch okay. Then there was another foam pit..then 3 rivers that we had to cross. The water pretty much came up to our chests and it was FREEZING and full of cypress knees. There were 5 in our group and I think 2 wiped out here! Followed by at least another half mile of mud. That goes up to your knees. There were shoes stuck in it from the people in front of us. We make it through and there'+ another river..this time, there are these huge floating tires..so we have to crawl over them to get to the other side..except they are huge. About halfway through, I fell through the middle of one to find that the water was so deep that I couldn't touch the bottom. By this point I had hardly any energy left to jump up and make it to the tire..so I pretty much just went under water and swam to the other side..the whole time I was thinking we had to be at least half of the way through. We crossed the river and found out we were only at the 1 mile mark! We ran through a ton more ditches and mud..sometimes the ditches were so steep that we had to crawl up and we all pretty much kept sliding to the bottom. I was wearing pants but I swear mud was EVERYWHERE! We get to the top and there is this huge net that we have to climb and cross over..I don't particularly like heights, but somehow I climbed up and over..it was so scary. Ran through more mud..then got to some walls we had to climb over which wasn't so bad..made it over to find another river we had to swim through..followed by ANOTHER river where we had to run over these pads that were on top of the water. I don't know how I made it over. I think I was sprinting to get to the other side. Finally we were at mile 2. Next were more realllllly high walls we had to climb over..I somehow made it to the top (so many people had gone over it that it was slick with mud, great.) So I couldn't figure out how the heck I was going to get to the ground..only 2 of us out of our group went over..I put my legs over and pretty much just fell to the ground ha! Got stuck in more mud (you get the picture..) Ran through a few more foam pits and somehow made it to the end in about 2 hours. I swear I don't know how I ever had enough energy to do any of this. At the end there was a huge slide we had to climb up and then slide down into more foam..imagine the slide at Blue Bayou..I think it was the edge or something? Well, this was higher. And I was airborne for half of the way down! I can't believe that I made it through this race..it was probably one of the hardest (physical) things I've ever done. I can't wait to see all of the embarrassing pictures..there were photographers along the way taking pictures of us and we had people with us taking pics too..they're gonna be great! ha.
By now I'm sure you've stopped reading..I can't believe I remembered the whole thing! We went home and showered and then had the biggest margaritas possible at Las Palmas and now I'm so exhausted, Idk if I'll make it off the couch to the bed! Fun Saturday night.
Hope you guys had a good weekend!!
