Del Mar Mud Run? Pfft. I didn't even try and I was 11th in my division, 130th in gender overall and 200th overall of 946 runners. Heck, if I'd tried I could have been in the top 3 of my division easily. Next time I won't be so nice......
I'm signed up for the Tough Mudder in February with my sister. So while she was here visiting I tried to get her to run up Cowles Mnt with me. No go. hahaha. She is sister of the epic half marathon battle/spanking. Search for the post, it truly is classic.
Later you will see what other 'brotherly love' she got from me while here, trying to teach her how to surf. Needless to say, it had blood, broken stuff and pain pills. Yeah, look for that post upcoming.
The classifier is standard 3 stage, 90 round course of fire to test you pistol shooting skills. Everyone in IDPA does it and it is how you are ranked against people locally and nationally. It is the 'standard' or 'control' as it were. I went with a guy I'd been shooting with here, SJG.
The rankings of skill go Novice, Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert and Master. I've been doing this two months. I just got a pistol 4 months ago. I shot Sharpshooter by just under a second in two different gun divisions!! My first time!!! Wow.
All those hours of practice, focus and such really paid off. I'm super digging this sport. And my goal of shooting at the Expert level looks totally achievable in an even shorter time than the year I first gave myself.
RAWR. I love competing! So look forward now to some post about my sister's little adventure here and a preview of the fashions I'll be wearing at the bottom of the world in two weeks!
Rowdy. Style.
Master Gunslinger. That would be pretty cool. Where is the Tough Mudder at?
