Camp Pendleton Mud Run, June 15, 2003

Reported by: Robert Schweitzer, Senior Technical Support

The "World Famous Camp Pendleton Mud Run" went very well. Not only did we do "Boomerang Justice" out there, but our team members earned a silver medal, with a final time of 1:30:35. The mud run was a 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) cross country obstacle course ran by individuals or teams, and competing in running clothes or the more difficult military attire complete with combat boots and camouflage trousers.

Team Boomerang entered as a corporate boots and utilities team. 7000 runners participated over two days, including a total of 42 teams during the two-day event. On June 15th, Team Boomerang was one of 27 teams competing that day, and was awarded a silver medal for a finishing time of 1:30:35.

The course included waist-deep mud pits, river crossings, two different wall obstacles, a hay bale course, a lake crossing and countless hills. The lake crossing was where we almost lost one of the girls. She was too proud and somewhat short. The water was over her head at times and her boots were weighing her down. As she began to drift away I was able to convince her to take my arm for assistance. She was a real trooper and will live to race again!

The race was great fun, complete with stinky sludge canals, slippery mud sloped hills (up and down), and even a rapid-current river crossing with chest deep water.

We have shown that mud hills and physical obstacles cannot stop Team Boomerang!
