We had an absolutely fanastic time with this one. Our workout group had a huge turnout, likely also because the event was local. We went to have a good time and a good time we had indeed. There was not much running to finally hit a muddy obstacle. We ran a short piece, dodged the first wave of zombies, were immediately thrown into the mud, and climbed up and slid down hills. While it’s no longer the middle of summer, the weather was fantastic. Cool enough to run comfortably, warm enough to not freeze.
I added another camera this time around and ran with four GoPros total, wearing three, with a fourth on a tripod, which I treated more as a monopod. The Rain-X I used on the lens covers didn’t work as well as I had hoped, but I generally had at least one camera that wasn’t entirely clogged up and caught something interesting.
To summarize, this even was awesome, and not the least bit competitive. Because it was local, I told everyone about it. Friends, coworkers, my hairstylist. Surprisingly, almost everyone had heard about it or even knew someone who signed up for it. It makes Raleigh seem like that much more of a small town.
Interestingly enough, whenever I suggest someone that they should sign up for the run, I heard all kinds of good intentions. “Oh yeah, I gotta start running.” or “I definitely [have to/want to] get into shape so I can run this.” Seriously. Just sign up. It doesn’t take a professional athlete, or even regular running in order to partake in and finish these races — certainly not the 5K ones.
