The Warrior Dash

Okay does this sound fun?
Running uphill for 3.25 miles in the wilderness (Turkey mountain to be exact)
Climb up and across rope nets
Jumping through tires
Climbing over old wrecked cars
Climbing over logs in chest deep water
Climbing up tall wooden walls
Jumping down wooden walls
Downhill (90 degree) death run
Breath taking hurdle jumping
Back scratching crawling under barb wire
Jumping over fire
Crawling through mud
Crouching under nets
And would you pay $60 to do such?

ARE YOU KIDDING??????

Lexi, Lacey and Lexi's friend Dayton signed up to do this insane race.  Not even 24 hours later Lexi's knee went out and so Lacey invited her friend Lacey McMurry to take Lexi's place.  So Lacey M drove from Little Rock, Arkansas to take Lexi's place in this mad dash...

Preparing for the race.

At the beginning

Mom and Lexi are the spectators

This is where we had to wait
for them to come

My feet while we waited...

Dayton finished first in his heat 
8th in his age group (20-24 males)
 and 23th overall!
There were over 5000 entries!
He ran the course in 27 minutes and 30 seconds...
What a Papa Bear warrior!

Here come Lacey and Lacey
They are approaching the mud pit.

Here they are swimming across the mud pit.

Lacey exits the mud pit.

They survived!!
The Laceys completed the course in about 50 minutes...

I'm still not quite sure what the attraction is to this mad insane dash

but there were plenty of people participating...

And they all looked like they were having fun...crazy!!
