Warrior Dash!







We survived! No wild animal attacks, insect bites, wanton behavior, or collapsing equipment! All of those things are mentioned in the waiver you sign prior to running, which is a little unnerving.
The dash today was so fun! Jeremy and I were both nervous going into the race. He was really concerned about his health, and is currently "sleeping it off". He said his body was "shutting down" a few minutes ago. He is so dramatic!
The terrain was rugged. The course was way out in the boonies. We ran the majority of the race through the woods. It was really rough footing with lots of roots, branches, hills and holes. Luckily it has not rained here recently, so everything was dry. With a good rain that course would have been deadly. The obstacles were harder than I expected. I don't like heights, so that was a mental challenge on a lot of them for me. There was a lot of climbing, balancing and jumping. 12 obstacles total, ending with the 30 ft cargo net, jumping fire, and mud pit. I will definitely do it again. Jury is still out on Jeremy...if he can get out of bed tomorrow, he might consider it.
PS-I beat him by 11 minutes....Just sayin'! :)
