Princess Buttercup

A friend told me about this crazy adventure race called the Muddy Buddy. It’s an event that combines trail running and mountain biking, along with a few obstacles. So Claire and I decided to sign up. First of all, it was in Austin—road trip! Secondly, it just sounded like a blast.
Sat. morning we loaded up the Escape with our luggage and Hayley and Sarah. We were off to Austin. The first stop was REI for registration. Then, we hit some stores downtown and I got this cool bag and coasters at Whole Earth Provision…so exciting!!


Because we had partied so much the night before (haha), we sat outside of Seattle’s Best and just chilled out and drank coffee. Claire got her computer and found a place with food and live music…The Oasis on Lake Travis. We headed out and got lost a few times but finally arrived. While we didn’t get to sit right on the lake, we were outside and had a great view of the cover band “haywire”. They were men who could have been our parents and were just having a great time. It was fun to see them having fun and we sang along with a lot of the songs. Sarah even managed to score me a spin on the dance floor with some 21 yr. old named Bray. Fun fun.

After dinner we headed to Claire’s friend Chelsea’s house so that we could crash for the evening. Her family was so sweet to put us up for the night and we all had a great night’s sleep.
