Well the day arrived last Saturday to torture myself and know there was a great possibility I might not come out alive. Ok, maybe that is a little over exaggerating, but I was nervous.
17 of us sign up to participate and we lost 4 to varying things so 13 of us end up dashing!
Here is the play by play...
Our crew all geared up and ready to go... it was pretty cool when we all got there,
but turned out to be the perfect sunny cool weather!
Rode bus to race site and picked up our packets... Robbi and I are getting excited!!!
Putting on our numbers...
Another warrior pose before we start...
Jordan, Penick, and Robbi dancin' in line... too much energy...
So Robbi shared some of her energy with Paula...
And of course we do some stretching!!!
First up... walk through a muddy river... a little CHILLY...
Then over some cars...
And through some tires...
Then over and under...
Climb up a wall...
Walk a balance beam bridge...
Get tangled in a spider web...
Under a really low tent area... knees a little scraped up...
Over a cargo net bride...
Up and over some hay bails...
Up a cargo net...
Through a muddy river... beware of losing your shoes...
Over some logs...
Run through fire...
See Watermark peeps... and get the crowd fired up..
Crawl under barbed wire and through the mud pit...
Muddy Warrior Pose...
Mom and Dad came to support and take pictures... but wouldn't hug me at the end :)
And then off for a GREAT post-race meal at Babe's! Can you say fried chicken and mashed potatoes!!!
Love doing this race with peeps I work with and our "extended family".
And for my small confession... when we hit the hay bails and I new we were almost done...
I was...
SAD IT WAS OVER!!!
It was such a blast. So fun. So thankful for the faster. stronger ones that were willing to hang back and experience it as a team. No one had to drag me or carry me!
And maybe just maybe... Warrior Dash 2012 is already on the calendar!!!
