MAKAHIKI CHALLENGE - MUD RUN 2013 – TIKI’S GRILL & BAR  CREW

“Oh my God, I broke a nail”.  Comments like that are not tolerated at the Makahiki Challenge because you do more than break nails—you get dirt under them too.  The Tiki’s crew was up for the challenge this past Saturday—to get dirty.  The race was held at the beautiful Kualoa Ranch with some of the most breath-taking backdrops of nature.  The team building exercise did more than push the limits; it showed us that we could depend on each other on and off the floor.  Although we were all at different levels of athleticism, we crossed the finish line together, and made it count.    

 

What was our reward? A nice frosty Kona Brewing Company beer awaited us.  Not to mention the exceptionally fresh dip in the ocean post-race to clean the mud off ourselves.  We thought it was all pretty much worth it to be running alongside cattle—dodging cowpies, charging uphill slopes of rope-web obstacles, dashing through mud icebaths and basically running through movie sets for 3.2 miles-of-fun.  This race did more than teach us to work as a team, but it also taught us the importance of taking care of our bodies.  By learning to eat healthy, we have more energy to run the races of life—even when carrying 3 pounds of mud on our body.    ~~ Alyssa!
