Dirty Dash 5k

The boys got together to run the 5k Dirty Dash. Jake was excited to be the older brother & push Greg down in the mud so he could beat him to the finish line.

They had over 5,000 participants this year, so they ran the race in waves every 20 minutes.

Here's the dirty dash hand print. It's a signature move you'll find on booties and chests of most participants male or female.

And they're off!

First section is an uphill climb in mud. Our friend Kris turfed it in his first 3 steps.

The funnest part is always the wall climb. You can see Jake clear in the back.

I like how he perfectly blends into the mud except for his face sticking out.

Safe!

It looks like Greg's back is going to break in this shot.

Almost to the finish line.

I told them to belly flop at the same time & this is what I got. Even better.

I'm pretty sure Jake is still trying to get mud out of the various places he didn't know he had.

This final climb

Followed by the final slide.......

or splash

I think they had fun.

You really need to blow these pictures up to appreciate all of the dirt in their teeth.

Showers were as ice cold as ever. They had warm showers for 3 bucks. Jake vowed to bring cash next year.

Post Dirty Dash ritual. Giant nap.
