Post Mania #3 (Warrior Dash)


















OMG people! Jay & I completed (survived) the Warrior Dash today. Above - yes, that is fire. Yes, we jumped over that like bad-*ss people that we are. You recall, this was 3.02 hellish miles of crazy insane obstacles. The part they leave out in the description of the course is that there are A MILLION HILLS. I'm talking, let's climb Mt. Everest-like hills (okay, well that's what it seemed like at times). Conveniently, there was no mention of that in the course description. There was only mention of muddy madness - not hilly you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me madness. But, as I said, we survived. I've never done any sort of course or race before, so I was freaking out this morning. Lots of nerves. Then I got there and pinned on the bib (which is the paper that has your racing number on it) and felt like I was official! It was a fun time and I think Jay & I rocked it like only true Warriors could!



Pre-Warrior Dash: getting the warrior paint on.

BEFORE: warriors ready for battle


Again, before the battle. Before knowledge of any hills.


Jay was confused about what a warrior does - here he's thinking about Egyptians and not warriors. Get your head in the game Abbas!


Annie & Debbie repeat performance of the Muddy Beavers (they have completed a Muddy Buddy race last year under this team name!) BEFORE & AFTER!



All done Annie. Good job!















Finally...the hat!




And the beer (I do not drink beer - however, today it was like a requirement or something!)

And I saved the best picture for last. We were standing around in our muddy stinky clothes, drinking beer and reminiscing about the crazy stuff we just did, when Jay goes - "oh, look what I found" and pulls out of his shorts pocket, a LOAD of mud. A load of mud was found in each of his pockets and likely elsewhere. Yes, it was a muddy mess of a day, but we did it!
