Salt Lake's Version of Wipe Out!


...Hit and Run 5k...
Long before strange bacterial thumb infections showed up we signed up with some friends for a obstacle course/5k.  It's similar to the show Wipe-Out but on a much smaller scale....and there is no prize; just knee burns and loss of pride.  I was totally out of comission on the day of the race, my hand was still in a brace and there was no way I was going to be able to participate.  Luckily, my mom and my little brother were in town so Jacob filled in for me while my mom and I were the paparazzi for our team. So basically we ran a 5k trying to keep up with them to get pictures!


The starting line:


Running to the first obstacle:


Jumping, climbing, and sliding...



Balance thingy:
 

Walk across, watch out for those red doors that open,
and oh yeah, people are throwing balls at you.



JUMP!









Nothing like more jogging....


Obstacle #5

She laid there like a slug.
It was her only defense.



They saved the best for last! 
Rotating big balls and water!








It was such a blast to watch - 
there better not be any thumb issues stopping me next year!!
