Here's what I have so far :)

RHPC Take on PIG, the DEVIL pig!!!

Michelle brought us secret weapons to stash in our sports bras that we threw at the stands before we started.  This was Kellie's GREAT idea.  Some of the audience threw the water balloons back at us ;)

McKenzie was going to get this pig NO MATTER WHAT!

 

 

SUPER STAR!!!!!

From marion on Sun, Sep 06, 2009 at 19:25:28 from 71.213.124.121

We had the BEST time! I have skinned knees and everything :)

I just posted more pics :)

From Smooth on Sun, Sep 06, 2009 at 23:41:40 from 71.36.78.244

HaHaHaHaHa! I LOVE IT! LOVE IT! So fun!

You girls definitely should've won the HOTTEST, BEST DRESSED TEAM award! Absolutely darling! LOVE the "curvature", the snouts and the pigtails ensemble!

The "green team" had the advantage 'cause you girls wore that pig out and it just gave up the fight.

Did you enjoy the hosing down by the firemen?...afterall you were all very HOT!

Thanks for sharing! See you in the morning!

I was really trying to do the sexy shower and the firefighter wouldn't cooperate! The water was pretty hard, stinging my scraped up skin. It was way fun.

Some things to clear up about the tape:

1) no matter what the tape shows, my butt is not that big,

2) no matter what the tape shows, we were trying hard, its just every time you run you turf it. But I will be running harder and trying harder if we have a go at it next year.

From RAD on Mon, Sep 07, 2009 at 00:12:49 from 76.27.12.70

How fun!!! That looks so hard! You guys did great, I think you deserve the best dressed award too! Can't wait to hear about it tomorrow!!!

From seeaprilrun on Mon, Sep 07, 2009 at 11:30:32 from 68.103.250.39

That's freaking AWESOME!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Mon, Sep 07, 2009 at 13:07:23 from 24.8.167.243

FANTASTIC!! You girls are freakin' awesome!

From kellies on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 00:39:26 from 67.222.231.10

Oh my heck, I am laughing my head off at your pics Marion and the footage!! HONESTLY!! That was fun! Michelle, you crack me up! Marion, your captions crack me up!! I am sitting here in the kitchen reading and laughing and my husband officially thinks I have gone off of the deep end. I have lost it :) He still can't get over the fact that his wife wrestled a pig!! He would have never thought. SO FUNNY!!!!!!

From kellies on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 00:40:03 from 67.222.231.10

Oh, and for the record. I have the biggest boobs girls so back off!! Don't try to copy me there!! THOSE ARE HOTTTTT!!!!

From LuzyLew on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 19:07:59 from 208.187.197.42

I knew this moment would go down in infamy and couldn't miss it. My favorite moment was throwing your boobs into the crowd, and having the crowd throw them back at you. Ka-lassy!! In the pictures I took, the guys running the event were cracking up hard. Next year that pig is goin' down even if I have to get into the ring myself to get the job done :) P.S. I wondered why Michelle spent so much time in the fire hose :)

From josse on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 19:30:34 from 75.216.204.37

Oh my goodness I had no idea this is what you guys where doing. I was wondering what Mac was talking about. Don't let me miss this next year it looks like to much fun.

From marion on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 23:10:17 from 71.213.124.121

Oh Josse- next year there will be a few of us hot chick teams, you are IN! :D

From marion on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 23:18:36 from 71.213.124.121

Luz- you are doing it next year for sure! It is important that our children, especially our daughters, see the, as you put it...Ka-lassy side of their mothers :) Or should it be, Kl-assy :D

From Maurine/Tarzan on Wed, Sep 09, 2009 at 10:23:44 from 97.117.60.220

This is hilarious. So sorry I missed it, but thanks for the videos so I can experience it vicariously.

From kyleem on Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 01:26:14 from 71.199.43.127

Hilarious pictures Marion! I can't believe you really wrestled pigs in the mud. Real women! Good job on your 5K. And good luck on your tri. that should be coming up, right?
