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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
