Pre-race routine:

We were totally running late for this one, so all we had time to do was jump from our car to the shuttle to the start line. :( We missed our wave and joined the next one.
Event warmup:

Well, we did run from the shuttle to the packet pickup

Comments:

I was really dehydrated going up the mountain, and the dust wasn't helping. I didn't start enjoying myself until the mud pit. (where the water station was).

I couldn't run the entire climbing portion, and wasn't able to run after the mud pit for a while due to the 20 pounds of mud caked to me. I did come out of the entire thing with some new scratches and wounds, but I had a blast.

The fire wall was much higher than I expected :)
What would you do differently?:

Get there earlier; carry my own water.
