Warrior Dash!

OK, this looks like the MOST fun EVER!! As some of you know, I took up some serious running challenges this year (1/2 marathon - Check!). Looking for new challenges I ran across this:

www.warriordash.com

And it's not just a measley t-shirt:

  1. Free beer * (21 and up)
  2. Fuzzy Warrior helmet (Magic Helmet!?!)
  3. Bad-ass Warrior Dash t-shirt
  4. Custom Warrior Dash finisher medal
  5. Live music
  6. Post-race snack and water
  7. Warrior Dash race bib
  8. The pride that comes along with being a Warrior

It's not a long race (around 3 miles), with obstacles, FIRE, mud and beer at the end. An they are doing it in 21 locations, including Austrailia (del??). I would love to see some of my fellow Junkies at the Georgia race in May. I'm asking my teenage daughter and hubby to do it with me for my b-day present.

RawwwwR!

Re: Warrior Dash!

Kind of surprised to see one not far from me.  The NY one is only about 3 hours away from Syracuse.  Maybe I can get my sister to relive her army days with me...  Laughing

Re: Warrior Dash!

And a Fuzzy Warrior Helmet! If you do it, please post some pictures. My hubby is on board, now I have to convince my teenager to come with us. I know she will love it, but teenagers... well, she can't SHOW that she would like it.

Re: Warrior Dash!

I asked what she thought and she said "What kind of stupid question is that?!?"  She is totally up for it!!  We're trying to convince her teenage son (a cross country runner) and my brother (just for the beer and fuzzy helmet) to join us!!

Even if it is only in spirit!  Hopefully that won't be too much of a hardship.  Cool

Re: Warrior Dash!

if i can get the wife to let me im goin to try to go to the one in twin lakes wisconsin next year, but i doubt it, the wife is mean when it comes to beer and fun.

Re: Warrior Dash!

Hey good luck w/ warrior dash.  I've done one, and it was a lot of fun.  however, I wish I'd done a little more research, because it wasn't as challenging as I was thinking it was going to be. Travlete, this site that reviews endurance events, gave them a B+, which I think is fair.  FYI they gave Tough Mudder an A+ : http://travlete.com/2010/11/22/tough-mudder-tri-state-englishtown-nj-2/

Re: Warrior Dash!

I got a little muddier than most as when I went through the mud pit my shoe came clean off my foot and disappeared into the mud. I went back and felt around blindly until I found the shoe and then climbed back out and up the hill. When I went to put my shoe back on I found that it was both the wrong size and wrong foot. I went back down into the pit and found 3 other shoes that weren't mine before finally finding my missing runner. That killed my time for the race but definately just added to the fun.

Don't plan on keeping your clothes or shoes after you run the course though mine were totaled.

Re: Warrior Dash!

A friend of mine that did the Georgia Warrior Dash last year said, upon seeing the original Manicorn pic, that he should wear that as his Warrior Dash outfit... and as a goof I photoshopped his face onto the Manicorn so he'd see what he looked like.  Based on the success of that, I also photoshopped Sigler's face as well, and the rest is, well, history I guess.

 

So, suffice it to say, if not for Warrior Dash there would be no Sigler Manicorn. :-)

Re: Warrior Dash!

So, duct-tape the shoes to your feet - Check. Throw away clothes after race - Double check

Re: Warrior Dash!

For the Manicorn. Probably won't be as disturbing after generous coating with mud... maybe.
