TOMORROW WE DASH!


They added two more obstacles (bringing the total to 14) to the Mississippi Warrior Dash. We'll be doing Road Rage, Rubber Ricochet, Teetering Traverse, Barricade Breakdown, Chaotic Crossover, The Trenches, Storming Normandy, Great Warrior Wall, Cargo Climb, Vertical Limit, Tipsy Tightrope, Deadweight Drifter, and the Warrior Roast and Muddy Mayhem to end the race. More mud crawling, but one less climbing walls (sweet)! And now the first obstacle is near the start, rather than 1 mile into the race, so we won't have any long running stretches (instead we'll have more "breaks" as we wait our turn at the obstacles every 1/8-1/4 mile... since there are 500 runners per wave, there are bound to be bottlenecks everywhere, especially at the first few obstacles).

We've got a full change of clothes, extra water for washing off mud, some towels, and trash bags to store our dirt-laden running clothes in until we get home all stashed in the car, and the kids are pumped to be spending the day with Coltin and Emma. We're excited, we're nervous, and we're ready to get muddy! Wish us luck!
