This year, for my birthday (which is tomorrow July 29th – by the way), I will be traveling to Chicago, IL with my BFF, Nik. We love Chi-town haven’t been in years but our last trip there was fantastic! We hung out at the Navy Pier, stayed at a cool and crazy hostel, shopped the Magnificent Mile, attended at least 2 festivals and bought stuff at the The Art Institute of Chicago (I think it was closing), we also ate some really good food.
This year… we are headed there to celebrate my birthday and of course do many and more of the cool stuff we did years but also to challenge ourselves, hence the Muddy Buddy – a two team 6-7 mile off-road course with 5 obstacles scattered in between. 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”!
