We survived Warrior Dash 2012!! It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to do it again. The Warrior Dash is a 5k race that is 3/4 uphill with 12 obstacles along the way. We did everything from climbing a 20 foot cargo net, scaled a wall with a rope, crawled under barbed wire and in 2 feet of mud, etc etc. The highlight for me was jumping over fire! 6000 people participated on our race day. We didn't place well but we stayed with our team the whole time. We had 4 couples total and we all cheered each other on, encouraged one another over walls, and motivated everyone to keep going! We can't wait to do it again!
Our team!
Tony and Jocelyn J, Kayla and Danny G, Ben and Heather J, Melissa and Tim O.
This warrior is ready to go!
It was thrilling to run this race with Tim. I can't wait for the next one! He pushed me (literally at times), motivated me, and finished with me!

We figured out the reason they have such a strong bond that day - they shared the same blankie! Ahhh
