That Warrior Dash Post I Promised.....

Saturday afternoon was the much anticipated Warrior Dash.  Here and gone with only the muddy pictures to prove we did it.  Kim and I had a blast on the course.  Neither of us took it serious as far as our finishing time so that made it much more fun to goof around on the obstacles. 

I have to admit, I did skip two of the tallest to prevent a nice fireman from having to rescue me.  I have an issue with heights that has gotten worse with age.  I simply freeze and my legs turn to concrete.  So knowing that it was best for everyone, I didn't climb the giant wall or go over the big wooden one that had no cargo net.  The others, I jumped right over or in...the pond was almost an issue for Kim since she's shorter and it was pretty deep on the end where we entered.  Then getting over the big logs in the water was a challenge for her short legs. 

We crawled under a dark shed on our knees, climbed in and out of dumpsters, under barbed wire, through the pond, over fire logs, through the mud pit on our belly... mud was everywhere!  We made a curtain with a sheet on the back of her car and stripped down in the field where we parked.  Good thing we wore clothes and shoes we could throw away.  Tired and sunburned, we rode home laughing about how dirty we were.
