Warrior Dash 2012
- Thread starter JBone84

i'm doing the 9:30 flight for Warrior Dash, and i think in Sept i'm doing the Go Ruck challenge in des moines
I also did the Nebraska Warrior, it was a blast except the first mile was nothing but hills to separate the people that went in each heat. My wife and I didn't take it too seriously and finished in about 45 minutes. It was our first "date" after having our son so we didn't feel like throwing up all over in the 95 degree heat!
We found out later that they really don't care what time you are registered for or run so just go and check in and run when you are ready. We wished we would've known that earlier to avoid running at 4 in the afternoon!!
I was hoping for this when I went into the dash, but it wasn't really the case for my group at all. We had 0-30 second wait at pretty much all of the obstacles. Definitely not enough of a rest for my outta shape @ss!
I'm either doing the 10:30 or 11:30 slot, can't really remember. Just going to try to beat (most of) the heat. I didn't do any training before it last year and it was fine, I think I finished in 44 minutes. The worst part for me was the beginning when everyone is in a huge clump, I just wanted to pass everyone but it was nearly impossible.
Warrior dash isn't even hard. Its only a couple miles with all the obsticles inbetween. I'm signed up for.the 1:30 slot. Tough Mudder is more of a challenge. But I thought that was easy also. Dam to Dam is harder then both cause you don't see out of shape people doing that and there are no breaks.
For some reason Dam to Dam always kicks my ***. I rarely struggle during the des moines half, but often struggle during d2d. Dont know why.
I signed up for Minneapolis shortly before the DM event was added.. As a veteran of many Living History Farms events, I expect it to be a blast.
I'm torn between doing this and Midnight Madness in Ames since they are on the same day. I feel like I'll end up doing MM though, as I've always had a blast there. Unlimited free food and beer afterwards is also hard to pass up :smile:
Voted!! I've done two and love them. I'm contemplating the Spartan Beast in Utah. That one looks insane!!
I wanted to do WD in July but am officiating a kids tri that weekend. Bummer.
Is the Lifetime tri the one where you have to sit through three Tori Spelling movies back-to-back-to-back?
Yes, if you sign up for the "olympic distance" they play it at 1/2 speed.Is the Lifetime tri the one where you have to sit through three Tori Spelling movies back-to-back-to-back?
I thought about doing the Warrior Dash when it was in Omaha, but never did. A lot of my friends did it and they loved it. If it ever comes this way again, I'll be sure to participate.
While we're on the subject of runs, dashes and what-not...anyone doing the Color Me Rad 5K in CB on July 8th?

I'm in the 10:30 start. I'm doing the Midwest Super Spartan in October (Chicago area). 9.5 miles with some tougher obstacles...no electrocution...that I'm aware of.
