They say warrior dash is the “craziest frickin day of your life” but the question is, is it? Warrior dash is a 5k run with obstacles throughout the way to either hinder you from getting your best time or to make it really fun for the people who just don’t care when they finish(talking to you matt!). The biggest fun for me is getting to dress up in a costume of sorts, mine being the high school wrestler with joker hair. Lauren dressed up as an 80s chick and the rest of the crew dressed up as, well themselves.
As we began the race, it was a typical run through the pasture and woods. I was wondering to myself. ” Where are the obstacles” as they were none in the beginning. We finally came up on a few, one being a bunch of dumpsters to jump over. Toward the middle, we encountered a rope wall and cargo net climbs that made it more interesting.
It wasn’t til the end where it got really fun. In the home stretch, we got to navigate through a muddy swamp and climb over logs. Then on to a another cargo net climb and then to the fire jump(see pic above). The final spot was a mud pit that covered anyone who jumped in from head to toe with mud. Now covered completely with mud, I ran across the finish line, finishing around the 40 minute mark. Not the best time by far but I don’t think I will be starting my 5k carreer anytime soon.
Overall, warrior dash was a fun experience, but it would have been better with lots more obstacles. Maybe when they return to Georgia in May 2012, they will have added many more creative spots to make the day “the craziest frickin day of your life”.
Nice perception of Warrior Dash! The first half of the course was going around in circles in pasture. It looped around a cemetery that was in the middle of no where. Did anyone else find that kind of odd? The “swamp” smelled horrible! It had a disgusting green film floating on the surface of the water which made you think before jumping in, although, I’m sure it felt pretty good after “dumpster diving”. What happened to the junk cars and other obstacles that were on the website but weren’t actually there? The “blackout” snake pit I could have done without. Crawling around on my knees in complete darkness & worrying about putting my hand down on a snake was not my idea of a good time. We passed a snake as we neared the end. It was just sitting on the sidelines flicking its tongue at us as if it were saying, “Suckers! You paid out the wazoo to play on a bunch of timber, dumpsters, nets & mud.” If it weren’t for the shirt & fuzzy helmet, I would have felt rather cheated. It is a great get up. Although, I think you could have came up with a better 5k obstacle course Bobby. You already have the cargo net! It was still a lot of fun.
