Cahoots Duo Challenge - I did it!

Just over a week ago I took on the Cahoots Duo Challenge at Soldier Hollow in Midway, UT.
It's a 5k full of obstacles designed with teamwork in mind - and lots of mud and water! LOL. Sounded like a good time to me! They offered 2 team registrations to my readers and one of the lucky teams is shown here.
A fun part of the challenge is to come up with a Team Name and then create a team flag which you carry throughout the race and then as part of the last challenge you hang it up and "retire" it.

My hubby and I were Team Red  (his nickname) and the other team was PB & J. 

Here's me wearing our flag as a cape which is what 90% of the people did too.

Cahoots was REALLY FUN! I haven't played in the mud like that since mud volleyball when I was in high school with my neighborhood friends! Right out of the starting gate we climbed a small hill that was full of mud and then got blasted with water as we swam and climbed in and out of some mud holes. We were wet, muddy and laughing from that point on!

If you are looking for a great event to do with our spouse, a great friend or whoEVER I HIGHLY recommend this (check the Cahoots site to see if they have an event in or near your area!) ! My husband and I have never tackled something like this for fun when we needed to rely on each other. There was certainly obstacles I didn't have the upper arm strength for and was grateful for such an awesome partner to pull me through!
Take a peek at these photos from a couple of the obstacles we did! Zip line, balance beams, and more plus the FINISH line celebration!

Here's a better look at the the last obstacle. You climb through these deep mud/water filled holes to hang your flag.

If you haven't taken the opportunity to do something like this - put it on your BUCKET LIST! Thank you Cahoots Utah for a GREAT time! It was a great challenge, a super FUN day and I hope to do it again! 

Were you there too? Have you done Cahoots in a different city? Tell me your story!
