A friend of mine tried to get me to do it! Google it and u will find some videos. Giant party atmosphere- u get horny (a la Viking hat) and a free beer when ur done. It's a 5k with obstacles- jumping over fire, climbing over a wall, mud pit... The obstacles vary per location.

There was a wall (straight up verticle) that you could climb or use the rope. I tried both and it was really difficult due to all of the muddy competitors that had been there before me. The mud made it insanely wet and slippery. But maybe others were fine with it, especially the ones who ran earlier in the day while the wall/rope was dry. :P

Isn't that wall supposed to bring the competitors together? They help each other in the videos and say stuff like, "We were strangers and competing against each other but we helped each other over the wall, we became family... blah blah blah"

Yeah, when some got to the top, they straddled it and gave a hand to their friend (or stranger) below. Some still couldn't get over it even with help. I saw a few people just run around it and keep going. :P But I think they should at least try getting over the wall and not just give up before they start....but that's just me I guess.

I'm looking at doing this also, the next time it comes to Houston. Can't wait to try it! Gotta get working on my upper body.

A few guys at my job did it on Sunday and they are still not back at work. I'd wait like a year after surgery before trying it.

I think you'll love it! I thought it was very fun and for someone that doesn't like to run like me, that's saying something. Just maybe wear stuff that you are ok with ruining. Most of my clothes washed up pretty well, but it will be wet and muddy. I made sure of it by doing a head first slide (like in baseball) across the finish line. :)

I did warrior dash this weekend in NorCal.

It was a freakin BLAST! Hands down the funnest 5K I've ever done- worth the $65 entry fee.

I HIGHLY reccomend it if you are into fun, crazy costumes and having a fun workout. I had no problem with the obstacles and the ones that were "hard" you could take your time and some peeps helped. If you really couldn't do it, you could just go around.

Prepare for mud, mud and mud and tie your shoes really TIGHT!

P.s. the attached pic- the t-shirt WAS white and the leggings were light grey- lol!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
