Becoming Warriors!

Months ago I signed up Barry, Cody and myself up for a race called The Warrior Dash.  Ours was to be a 5K with enough obstacles to make it interesting.  Why you ask?  Most of the time there is no reason except I am a tad crazy sometimes but this time it was to give Cody an event that would give him much joy while running.

You can tell we are no warriors yet - we are too clean.

Our start time (shift) was at 10:30 a.m. so there are not very many people there yet... it looks like a lot but 7,000 people actually ran this race.  

Almost go time.  Notice Sierra and Creed taking in the surroundings. 

I am sure they really enjoyed this... oh dear. 

We are now official warriors... because we are dirty.

Cody is the #1 warrior in our family because he is the dirties and he finished 560 out of the 7,000 people.

This is what the mud pit looked like.  Can you see the man that looks like chocolate?

We jumped over two things of fire. 

People waiting to get rinsed off by the fire trucks.  Barry and I went down to a pond.

All clean, at least looks clean. 

Can you find the man in the batman underwear that are too small? 

The smoked turkey legs were really good but really expensive - $7 per leg.  We all munched on $14 worth.

I can only imagine what this would look like after the last group of people ran at 4:30 p.m.
