A couple of weekends ago, I did the Warrior Dash (aka the Dash) held in Louisville, Nebraska. It’s a deceptively mild looking course, but we all know that pictures can be deceiving. It was.
The dash was 3.3 miles (about 5K) through some rough terrain, up and down terraces, through some woods, up and down some very steep slopes, and not to mention the 92 degree heat beating down on us. That doesn’t include the obstacles. Oh yes, there were obstacles. 12 of them to be exact. These obstacles ranged from jumping over 4′ tall walls, crawling under barbed wire fence, scaling walls with ropes, jumping over open fire, and crawling through some of the slickest mud I’ve ever encountered. You can check on the link above to see some of the obstacles. You get the idea though.
