Mud Run Photos!

This is the website that will have the professional photos of the race.

This page has pricing info.

The pics should be ready for us to view on Thursday 8/9.

Here are some that Diana took and Denise sent to me:

Ladies - I don't know about you all, but I had an amazing time and would love to do this again...and again...and again! Check out these sites for some more mud runs in MN and WI:

There are many, many, many more out there too - please share any you like!

Mud Run Info

Can you believe it? The Dirty Girl Mud Run is a little over a WEEK away! 

To make Saturday as smooth as possible, I wanted to pass on some information to everyone.

 If you haven’t been to Welch Village before, here is a map and directions. Parking is FREE.

If you are riding with me, need a ride, or if you have extra seats available in your car please contact me by this Friday, the 27^th, so we can make sure everything is all set and everyone has a way to get to Welch Village and home again when we are done. I believe I have 1 open seat left, but I don’t quote me on that! 

I am heading for Welch Village at 9:30am.

 

They recommend getting to the registration tables 90 minutes before the wave starts and it takes a little over an hour and a half to get to Welch Village from my house. 

Bring a photo ID that has your birthday on it. They require it at registration. 

You also can check 1 bag – so you can bring a change of clothes for after the race. Also – you might want to bring a garbage bag to put your wet dirty race clothes in for the ride home!  They will have merchandise, food, and beverages for sale after the race too, so if you are interested make sure to bring cash or a credit card.  AND… spectators are free – so bring friends and family to cheer you on!

There is entertainment afterwards.

Thankfully, there is a rinse tent and changing area so we don't have to stay muddy! 

If you have other questions, they might be answered HERE.

Let me know if you are having any issues I can help with.

I can't wait to see you all on Saturday!

Why do you run?


  

A little over two months...

I added a countdown timer at the bottom of the page here - you should scroll down and check it out!

Wow, the time is FLYING by! We now have a little over two months left before the run. Did you order your shirt yet? Decide on shorts? Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask here in the comments or e-mail me at trainer.nichole@gmail.com

I know you can....but do you?

Hello team! If you're feeling a little apprehension, then congratulations! Yes, you read that right. That little bit of apprehension is normal. It means that you are getting out of your comfort zone, you are doing something you haven't done before. I bet if you think back on your previous accomplishments, you will remember having that little bit of apprehension at some point before your success. You can do this!

I recommend checking out the blog on the DirtyGirl website HERE - there are some great stories from women who did the race this year. After reading those, now I really can't wait until 8/4!

Teamwear Store!

Hi team! Julie set up a cafe press store here for us to order whatever we would like to wear for the race. Thank you Julie! The store is great!

 Feel free to order whatever style and color you like best. A lot of our team has said they want to go with a tank top for the race and some teammates are planning on getting an extra shirt for after the race. I want to get a tank and a hat to wear when I'm training! What are you going to order?

Don't forget our sideline support and photographers - they are part of the team too!

Training Plan

Alright team, I've got a training plan prepared! E-mail me at trainer.nichole@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

Ideas for Team-Wear

Ok ladies, we need to figure out what we want to wear for the race. Many thanks to our talented teammate Julie who made up the design below to give us a place to start from.

What do you think? Tank? Tee? Something else entirely?

1 H2OMG water pit

2 THE HANGOVER Hanging Tires

Which do you think will be your favorite? Which do you think will be the hardest?

12 weeks to go!

There are 87 days until the Dirty Girl Mud Run. That is a little over 12 weeks to train and be ready to run and get over, under, or through obstacles. 87 days are definitely enough, and all of my teammates are more than capable of doing this - but my question to my teammates is this: What are the goals you have for yourself before you will feel ready for the race? Comment or e-mail me please :)
