My Warrior Dash Experience
Warrior Dash has been one of the coldest, yet fun Mudrun experience I had so far. I did not know what to expect, but I always have an open mind. The obstacles were not that hard, but it can be my training from P90x3 and Insanity Asylum that got me where my strength and endurance were on point for this race.
As we arrived everything was organize. Registration only took 5 minutes and my Bib had my name and time already. We walked around and took pictures. Warrior dash had great displays throughout the festivities.
My race was at 8:30am and it was the competitive wave. Reason I chose this race is because I want to see where I fall in with the best athletes and where I need to focus on my training.
At the start line they got us pumped, we were stretching, jumping and doing count downs.
As soon as we started the count down, everyone started running. I had a really great pace, enough to get me at the finish line fast.
As soon as we reached the lake I was afraid to go in. I can feel the ice piercing through my skin. Yeah! I over exaggerate....
But I started to panic, I swam, but I felt like I couldn't breath. I kept telling myself do not STOP! And I did not stop. When I reached land I stood there catching my breath. Trying to get my oxygen in. This is where people were starting to pass me.
As soon I got myself back I started to run again. I would pass obstacles after obstacles. I felt like a true warrior.
I completed all obstacles with barely any struggles. I know I was able to do this because I was following a great fitness program and nutritional plan.
My favorite obstacle was the last one. Who doesn't like to get down and dirty while crawling through mud?
I would sink in and slip, I was drenched in mud from head to toe by the time I got to receive my medal.
Who knew this medal is also a bottle opener. I thought that was unique.
After my race I decided to run it again with the MudRunFun Group and my Friends. I think this is what makes OCRs fun, running it with friends and coaching them through each obstacle. Also just making new friends
I always recommend people to look into OCRs. You will feel this accomplishment by the time you reach the finish line.
And who doesn't enjoy a beer at the end for FREE.
What I loved about Warrior Dash is not only did we get a medal and a Free shirt, they gave us warrior hats.
The best part of my experience is that I got to hang out with my friends and enjoy the festivities.
