Gladiator Rock and Roll Run

I was worried on Friday because it was a nasty rainy day, but Saturday turned out to be an absolutely perfect day to go out and play in the mud.  We went to the Pacific Raceways track in Kent, parked in a field the size of Rhode Island and walked for half a day to the track.  We wandered around and walked through the end of the race course, got race ready and checked our bags.  The start was on the race track behind a monster truck that took off every half hour as the ear drum busting announcement of the start of each wave.  When the truck went we went and I hung with Zach for about as long as it took to get over the timing mats.  He was possesed by the Zach demon and he was gone.  He was so far gone that he missed a turn and had to climb over a fence to get back on track.  We ran some bleachers, waded through an ice filed swimming pool, climbed walls, rocks and tires, carried rice to a Buddha statue, got hit by big balls, jumped over fire, slid down a plastic covered hill...it was great.  The guy running the show as American Gladiator guy Nitro...whoever he is.  Very nice guy.  It was a grand and wonderful day.
