Warrior Dash

So today was the big Warrior Dash that we had been anxiously waiting for since January! So we packed on up and headed on down to Forney, down an old road in the middle of nowhere to get there. We were dooped by fake official parking signs and we ended up paying the same amount of money to park a mile away from the race. Lesson learned. So after our one mile warmup, we met up with some friends and listened to some live music, checked out the previous finishers mud looks, and scouted out costumes. Some of the costumes included: smurfs, boys in dresses, tutus, girls gone warriors who ran in white cotton panties, I found Where's Waldo three times, business men in full suits, santa, etc. People ran in all kinds of stuff. The course was supposed to be 3.51 miles with 14 obstacles included. It didn't seem like that long of a course but it was hard to tell since we were quite distracted. Hubby and myself stayed together the whole time which was nice to have someone to balance with in the muddy muck. We ran through muddy rivers, swam in a muddy lake, climbed up muddy embankments, slid down them, army crawled under barbed wire, climbed a cargo net, climbed over a hay stack, jumoed over some wooden spindle thingies, jumped over 2 fire pits, and just had an overall blast! Afterwards we got three free beers a piece (thanks to some issues with Kaufman county they couldn't sell us beer, they just had to give it to us!), and hung out and listened to some music. There were a whole lot of crazies in one place that's for sure! I don't have our times yet, they said they would be posted by tomorrow I think. My friend took most of the before and after pics, I will post them once I get my hands on them!
