Survived

June 28 2011, 1:44pm

We ended up joining a hiking race by accident. We were walking along a trail, and being sunday there were several other hikers. As the trail kept going, we passed a tent giving out free sports drinks and snack bars, but didn't think much of it.

Then things got interesting. The trail ended and a muddy, wet, slippery, walkable creek started. Everyone else was in full on hiking outfits and had no problem stomping through the muddy water, but marina and I were clearly underdressed. We carefully jumpped from rock to rock for an hour as we decesnded the mountain, someone surviving with minimal damage to our clothing.

When we got to the bottom, everyone was checking their times, while we were checking our jeans.
