Warrior Dash Report!
Before:
3.17 miles. 12 obstacles (which were much harder than what they had said they would be when we signed up...haha). Unofficial time is about 1 hour and 5ish minutes. Would have been at about an hour if I hadn't frozen at the top of the 25 foot cargo net wall and had a minor meltdown due to my fear of heights. I did walk a lot. The course had a lot more hills than I expected.
After:
Yum!
The firehose bath was probably the worst part. The weather was perfect for the run, about 70ish degrees. The mud was frickin' cold, the water from the hose was even colder.
Saw lots of awesome costumes, lots of guys running in Spiderman or Superman undies. I got passed by one guy sporting a speedo and it was a nice show.
My legs look like they've been assaulted by a Little League team, armed with aluminum bats. 
But, all and all, we had a blast and we are hoping they have it again next year!
Re: Warrior Dash Report!
I know my time probably horrifies you. I was a little, "ugh..." at myself at the beginning. But, I got what I worked for you know? I didn't know what to expect and thought I could just breeze by with some cardio work. But that wasn't the case at all. I needed way more cross country cardio type work. And a hell of a lot more upper body work.
So now I know for next year. It gives me a time to beat at least.
I think your time rocks with all those obstacles! Pretty sure the very fastest anyone ran it in KC was just under 50 minutes. And totally agree about the cargo net, it was very scary!! So glad you had so much fun.
Have you given the Tough Mudder any thought? 10ish miles, 28 obstacles and a whooooole lotta bragging rights! :-D
Tough Mudder...lolz. I want to get through at least one more Warrior Dash and see how I feel after that. I need to build more mental toughness. Haha!
Holy cow, we're going to have a little sister!!
Awesome work!!! Hills + obstacles would def make it way harder!!
*Those who are considering Tough Mudder have much respect from this girl!! I would not want to run 10 miles and the last obstacle get electrocuted by cattle prods
))) To sign a one day life insurance policy is a little extreme to me but my H is all about it...I will take pictures
