I am a Warrior

I survived Warrior Dash and will sign up again next year. I did the 3.1 miles and 11 obstacles in 1 hour 10 minutes. We didn't run much but the obstacles took the wind out of you so running was not really happening.

Before

Here is taste of our obstacle course, I have photos of the last few courtesy of our friend Diane but that is the only place for non-racers to stand and cheer:

• 5 foot walls followed by crawling under barbed wire
• Up and into and over 4 roll off dumpsters (empty) with tires between. This was difficult, I'm about a 1/2 foot taller than the side of the dumpster so on the outside there was a foot hold, on the inside there wasn't. A kind competitor helped me on the last 2 to get my leg swung over the side
• Balance beam like the ones you see on survivor
• 11 foot wall with a rope. This is the one obstacle I couldn't do. Tried really hard but couldn't get started. However, Stacey did awesome and conquered not only the wall but her fear of heights.
• Cargo net
• Crawl through a dark tunnel
  
• Scale a platform and slide down a fire house pole
• Waist deep pond (green algae and all) and up and over logs
• Soaking wet up and over another cargo net
• Scale another platform and over
• Jump over fire
• Crawl in mud under barbed wire
  

After

A taste of the characters at the Dash. We also saw a group of men in superhero boxer briefs.

IT WAS AWESOME!
