Everybody looks great covered in mud Of course it is purely a matter of personal preference, but I think immediately diving in is like skipping appetizers and dinner to go straight for dessert.
For me, the anticipation of what is about to happen is half the experience. Get your shoes muddy... sink in a little deeper... fall down.. get your arms and shoulders covered.. then surrender to the experience and roll around getting completely caked from head to toe.
Have fun and savor the experience, it looks like a great spot!
Very nicely put. For me too, 0-60 in five seconds is nowhere near as sexy as a gradual mudding - stumbling and falling a few times before giving in to the belly flop and the full wallow.
