The Warrior Dash: Are You A Warrior too?
April 29, 2010
“The craziest frickin’ day of your life! A fire leaping, mud crawling, beer drinking run from hell.”
Count me in!
Now honestly.. who wasn’t hooked by just those two simple sentences? That’s right! For the first time Warrior Dash has made it’s rounds to the Northeast and I am ecstatic to announce that this gal right here will be participating in Septembers festivities! Who will be joining me?
Here’s the deal, months ago I took a look at Warrior Dash and realized that this is something that I definitely DO NOT 
want to miss. I figured that the 5k being in September and it only being January, I had plenty of time to register and not have to worry about a thing. WRONG! A few of my friends and I were discussing the race a few weeks ago and out of curiosity I wanted to see when registration was going to start. To my surprise registration had not only started but almost every single dash was filled and there were only 3 slots left! Seemed like a pretty good opportunity to jump on the horse since I knew I was serious about partaking in the event. So if you are a warrior fighting for the ultimate Flava Flave steel helmet, who also thinks you have some time to buy before you register… you might want to think again…
Looking to save a little dough? Not a problem! If and when you do register type in the promo code CANYON and receive $5 off the registration fee. Worked like a charm for me when I registered for the Northeast region and according to Warrior Dash Facebook Discussion Forum the code seems to be working well for other areas.
With such an intense 3.23 hellish miles on the way I definitely need to start training! Starting tomorrow I will be hitting the gym harder then I ever have preparing for the big day! My daughter and I will be traveling around the area and playing in every which playground that has the most equipment, so be on the look out for a crazy lady going nuts on the monkey bars! This training technique was highly recommended by Denver’s Personal Training Examiner, Jonathan Sabar. I will do just about anything to dominate this race!
Are you or someone you know attending the Northeast Region or any Warrior Dash event in your area? How have you been training for the big day? What are you looking forward to the most, crawling underneath barbed wire in sloppy mud, running through the fire, perhaps the ice cold brewsky waiting for you at the finish line?
Good Luck to all you Warriors out there! I look forward to seeing you there!
[...] Warrior Dash is only a month away and I am nowhere near prepared for the 5k run of hell on September 18th. For months I have been addicted to watching late night infomercials. Well, Insanity workout just so happened to be the one that caught my eye one particular evening and I made the mistake of saying out loud “Wow, I could do that work out in my sleep” TOTALLY KIDDING, because I knew some of the reps would be very, very challenging. Of course my hubby laying there next to me challenging what he thought I could do and probably would struggle with led to more tough talk. We had a great chuckle that night. That was until a late birthday present showed up and wouldn’t you know it! It was Shaun Thompson in a box ready to kick my ass. [...]
3 months until the Arizona race and I’m starting the p90x in combination with Insanity to get myself ready. Looks like a blast!!!
