What would you say if I offered you a chance to run 3.5 miles through random obstacles, over giant walls, over two walls of fire, and through a mud pit? Now what if I told you by doing so you'd get a medal, Viking hat, and a bunch of scrapes and bruises? Yeah, of course you'd want to run the Warrior Dash! With the help of some friends, a will to make it, and a knee brace, I managed to survive! And it was AWESOME!!
Warriors ready to run. Greg is still waking up, but then he'll be ready to run...
Lots of costumes at the Warrior Dash... some better than others. That Luigi suit had to be hot.
All we saw going in was mud coming out... so we knew it had to be epic in there...
Best costume ever - a soldier and an Talibani!
Nice tutu and wings. Thought this was a masculine event?
And Greg ruins this masculine shot. The "Before" picture.
Kelsen wanted to run, but age limits hinder her again!
Just before the start, ready to take this on!
Fire means go!
We were so happy, so unaware of the torture we were about to put ourselves through...
Meanwhile, the spectators are enjoying chairs, laughs, and no fear of broken bones.
Here we come on the last leg. The pictures don't capture the other 55 minutes of running and obstacles we did, but know it was INSANE!
My favorite part of the race - JUMPING FIRE!!!
Greg of course had to show me up...
Get air, Sam, don't fall in!
And after the finish... that's a lot of mud.
And the after shot of the group. Right before we were hosed off by a fire truck. I don't know if I could do it again - there were a few times on top of the walls I really questioned my sanity. But I'm glad I did it once... and survived!
