I'm not positive this race deserves a race report, but here goes:
Awesome day, great fun, good friends... and TONS of mud :-)
Joann and I started the day with a soccer game, then met Tammy and Jon at Kilroy's for a quick lunch before heading down to Cindy's where we distributed our AWESOME ensembles -- pink and black striped socks, pink personalized tanks, pink camouflage bandanas and face paint. Getting ready for this race was about equally as fun as the race itself!!
We were all pretty nervous as we caravanned into Budds Creek for the race.. parked and walked the loooooong way down to registration and signed a HUGE waiver form (longer than half ironman waiver form), and we were off! Here we all are before the journey:
Glenn took off ahead pretty quick, and Cindy left us soon after, but Joann, Paula, Tammy and I stayed together pretty much the whole time (or at least re-gathered before all of the "fun" obstacles). It was really really hot which took its toll on me (not to mention the tired legs from the triathlon and a week in Disney), but we ran through mud, crawled under tarps, climbed a rope obstacle, ran through tires and over hay stacks, slid down a flume, jumped over fire and ducked under barbed wire... awesome.
Jon was our super photographer and made the album public, so check them out: Warrior Dash Pics
Next year we'll have a bigger group, make even better costumes (is it possible?) and be in better shape for the adventure!
