i signed up for...

the Warrior Dash! I did it and I'm so excited! I'm doing the one in Maryland, on May 22nd, 'cause I graduate from college on May 21st. Nothing says I'm an adult like doing "3.11 hellish miles" and rolling around in the mud. Just watching the video it looks really intense, but I'm really pumped, I'm not gonna lie.


I'm not nervous about any of the obstacles, I'll just take my time. A couple of us from the 20's board are doing it together. I'm glad that I'll have some friends--even though I haven't met them in real life--to do it with. I tried to convince Mr. Skinny to do it with me, but he'd be nervous to, although I think he'd have fun. I think men need other men to do it with though, he'd feel awkward doing it with a bunch of girls.
I don't mind getting dirty, and I'm all for proving how strong I am, even though I think I'm stronger than I really am. I'm going to have to work on my running though. I have to run all the times that I can, I don't want to walk the times when we're supposed to be running.
The obstacles:
-knee high hell - going through tires
-mossy maze - navigate through mossy trees
-blackout - something about sliding down a black trench...?
-junkyard jam - get through a scrapeyard
-cargo climb - going over cargo nets
-hay fever - go over hay bales
-chaotic crossover - more nets to climb over
-petrifying plunge - mudslide!
-warrior wall - wooden barricade
-tipsy tightrope - heck yes!
-warrior roast - jump over some fi-ah!
-muddy mayhem - crawl through the mud, under barbed wire
I'm pumped, no way around it. I'm kind of bummed there's no water involved, but I guess it would be a bit cold for that... Hm.
The best part? I get a medal! A real medal for completeing it! And a viking hat! And a shirt. I love getting free stuff! Even if I have to pay $50 to register. Oh well, it'll be worth it, for sure!
