I committed this week to participating in two rather strenuous athletic events. The first, Tough Mudder, is an eight mile obstacle course that is run on the property of a ski resort. Yeah, there will be plenty of hills and, as the event name suggests, mud.
The second event is the Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa or RAGBRAI. This bike ride will cover nearly as many miles as my trip last summer but will take just 7 days. I’ve registered for this event, but they receive more registrations each year than they can accommodate so there will be a lottery drawing in the spring to determine who actually gets to ride.
So now, Damion and I just need to figure out which triathlon we’re going to ride this year and I’ll be all set!
