Hows my little Warrior?

Last fall Laura sent me this link from her brother and said check this out! I was immediately hooked on all that was Warrior Dash. We all signed up in November for the race (which was already filling up) and started getting excited.

For those that don't know what a warrior dash is, it's a 3ish mile race with obstacles, mud, goofy people in costumes, and a whole lot of fun. They have this race all over the country and we chose to run it in Georgia. The courses vary from place to place but they are generally similar.

Thanks to a stranger on Facebook I am able to show you our course obstacles by ugly photo collage. The guy wore a video camera on his head.




The whole event was ridiculously fun (and extremely well organized) and I loved hanging out with the Davis warriors.



Laura and I dressed up as Punk Rockers. For my costume I got hellbent on finding Red Plaid tights and after probably 2+ hours searching on the internet one night I found this site just as I was about to give up on the dream. The tights made my outfit perfect, but the Boondock Saints shirt from Goodwill also pulled through really strong. The best part of all, my mohawk managed to stay standing right until the end! After I crossed the finish line is when it finally fell, which I thought was amazing because Laura and I were having a hell of a time keeping it up at the house before the race. It was a last minute tweak to make it a liberty spike/fan mowhawk. Twice as ugly thus even more perfect.

Laura and I split a Turkey Leg. mmmmmm....

They had a really cool program where you could donate your muddy shoes to a shoe recycling program. I was able to donate two pairs and Laura tossed in a pair for herself too. I love recycling shoes, it bothers me to throw them away when they could still be wrapped around a foot. Judging by some of the other pictures I've seen this pile easily quadrupled in size by the end of the weekend.

I can't wait for Warrior Dash 2012 (if the world doesn't end first).
