Going back to my post on the Disney Endurance Series of endurance fitness events, this weekend features a two-for-one weekend at the Walt Disney World Resort with the Danskin Sprint Triathlon and the Muddy Buddy. I really wanted to give the Muddy Buddy a shot this year, but it was sold out before I found out about the event.
The Muddy Buddy is a team event on Saturday, May 10 at Disney’s Wide World of Sports. This endurance event incorporates trail running and biking. The big fun of this event is the huge mud pit at the end of the race. The whole team has to run or crawl through the mud pit and cross the finish line together.
The Danskin Triathlon runs early morning (6 am) on Sunday, May 11. The athletes swim through the Seven Seas Lagoon, bike around Magic Kingdom Resort Area, and ending with a 2 mile run through Magic Kingdom Park. This popular triathlon for women is the 19th year running at the Walt Disney World Resort!
