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.

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
