Running is my “passion” and combining Crossfit exercises I was in heaven but one day I saw a flyer on the
board in my box. The “Tarzan’s cup”, that was my first OCR. I didn’t know anything about this kind of race. I
was dreaming about it everyday, listening from my coach “oh yes those are like “Spartan” “Tough mudder” those
are tough…..you have to train for it” (I had no idea of what he was talking about)…..but yes I did train for it. I
changed my diet and my exercising routines. I was getting ready for my first race.
OMG!!!!!!! The day came and I couldn’t believe it….hundreds of people dressed in costumes, screaming and
getting ready for a run and mud!! I was like what the heck?? Can we do this? Can we jump in the water, do this
slide, do this monkey bars??? I was in paradise!!!! I got second place that day!!! I couldn’t believe my inner kid
was speechless…Finally I got to do something that made me happy 100%, that made me feel equal because there
was no gender, religion or anything involved it was only mud, run and fun!! (yes MUDRUNFUN)!!!!
I started checking in the internet for more races in Miami and I did it for around 6 months until I found
“Savage Race” my first Central Florida race, 2 years ago. I went with my (original crazy Miami team) Geishelle,
Ricky, Eddie and Mark. That race was fun and tough, yes the obstacles were tougher and the competition
stronger!..but the people we met that day were the best!!!
