Warrior Dash Weekend

The weekend before Thanksgiving I went to Austin to spend time with some friends from Bartlesville and do a race called the Warrior Dash! It was so fun!! The whole thing! It was great to see a few of my Oklahoma friends, it felt like I hadn't even left, and the race was a blast too. It's a different kind of race, as you will see...

Before we left

Me and Emilie Vaclaw

Me, Faith Cook, Lauren Murray, and Emilie. Before the race...

There were tons of people in costumes. These had to be some of the most outrageous...

This shoe donation pile was twice this size by the end of the day. My shoes included...

It must run in the family. HAHA!

I wish I had pictures during the race. But they are too expensive to buy, so I'm not going to bother. It was a 3.2 mile race with about 12 obstacles along the way. We did things like jump over a row of cars, run downstream in a small river, climb up a cargo net, jump over a fire pit, crawl over hay bails, and slide through a mud pit under barbed wire.

It took us 34 minutes to finish, but it was strictly for fun. There were people stopping on the course taking pictures and playing in the river and just goofing off. There were very few people that were racing for time.

I didn't realize it was on my face so much. I just knew I had to wash my mouth off before I drank my water at the end.

After showering and getting some of the mud out of our ears, we went to dinner and out a little in Austin. We headed home early Sunday, I had to make it back for church at 11. Will are planning to do it again in the Spring, and I can't wait to see more of my friends next time!
