Mental Toughness

"I'm not in good shape. Can I do this?

Finishing Warrior Dash is more about mental toughness than being in great shape."
(stolen from the Warrior Dash site)

Well said.  Just keep reminding yourself about your so called "mental toughness".  That being said, when jumping over fire, I would recommend that in addition to your "mental toughness" you also posses the ability to jump high.

Time to drink?

Shouldn't we start contemplating a trip to the watering hole? Good drinking habits don't 'just happen.' They need to be nurtured! Besides, it's time for someone amongst us to see what the inside of the India Oak actually looks like.

Hagar may be out of the race!

Hagar (aka Tom) could be down for the count. His knee has not yet recovered from the time I clubbed him with the back end of my sword. Obviously he was not wearing the proper armour. We will know more in a month or so.

Regardless, my training continues...

There will be Paramedics....

"Is Warrior Dash safe?

There's certainly risk involved in Warrior Dash, but we take every precaution possible to get you to the finish line safely. There will be paramedics and an ambulance on site in case of an emergency. You enter Warrior Dash at your own risk."

Key phrase: "There will be paramedics..."  So which obstacle will it be?  Deadweight Drifter, Wicked Windstorm, Junkyard Jam or the Rio Run?  Any one may cause mayhem.  Which will be your downfall?  Are you prepared?  You may want to go out for a run or twelve.

Warrior Facts.....

So, after looking at the new videos on the Warrior Dash website and feeling like not a single person was over the age of twenty something I decided to check out the results of a recent Dash.
In Fl this past January the winner of the entire Dash on Saturday (6000+ people) won with an impressive time of 20 min 11 secs.....Even more impressive - he is 39 yrs old!!!
The 40-44 yr old women's age group had 340 competitors
The oldest woman competing was 70 yrs old and finished the race in a seriously impressive 50 mins 12 secs (note to self - beat this time or else!!!!!)
The winner of the 70+ male age group was 70 yrs old and finished in 41 mins 8 secs and the oldest competitor in the race was a 74 yrs old male who finished in 52 mins 22 secs.
Note to the rest of you....... anyone finishing with a time slower than 52 mins 22 secs should buy the first round!!!!!

Supplies Needed!

Has anyone got a viking helmet I can borrow to take my profile picture?? All we have in our house is Disney Princess crowns and that is not the image I am after! Or maybe just a set of antlers from above your fireplace from your last successful hunt.....
