Some time ago, I saw a picture of a guy in a helmet jumping over fire. I then saw Words that spoke to my soul..free beer, bad ass medal, warrior helmet, the craziest freakin day of your life. As of last week, I'm IN! Signed up and no backing down. Let the warrior dance begin!
Now I've seen events like this before, like the tough guy contest they hold over in England, but never gave it a second thought to look for one over here in the land of the free. What a dumbass I am! Since the days of my youth watching American Gladiator, I have been fond of obstacle courses. The problem is, without say joining the military, there aren't many around. Now that is changed.I present to you...the warrior dash! www.warriordash.com
Apparently warriors don't just dash in a straight line, they jump over fire, crawl through mud, climb over nets and do all kinds of other things. All while running 3 miles, some in zany warrior garb. And why do they do this you ask, some may say for the challenge, some may say for the thrill of victory, but let's be honest..IT'S FOR THE BEER!
And so after a bit of delay, I signed up for the Northeast race. A coworker was also immediately entranced and signed up on the spot. On September 18th, we will tackle the walls and the nets and the cold cold water. If any of you are brave enough, there are still some spots left!
This is just the kind of goal I need to focus on running again. A chance to outdo a colleague , do some crazy stuff and go to a big beer bash with a ton of muddy people all in the same day.....perfect.
So, if you be warrior enough, sign up!
