3.2 miles, 12 obstacles, 1 mountain.
Saturday was the second Warrior Dash held at the Windham Mountain Ski Resort in Windham, NY. The obstacles were just a bit crazier, the crowds just a bit bigger and the mountain... well it seemed as big as last time.

We had great weather. I have to be honest, when I heard it was in August this year I had visions of 90 degree weather and having to park myself in the first water/mud pit to cool off. Mild temps and slightly overcast skies made for perfect Warrior conditions.

| Clean feet. Clearly a before. |
There were some repeat obstacles with a new twist (i.e. logs to swim over, barbed wire to crawl under) and a few new obstacles to battle.

| Teetering Traverse. Sort of scary and required excellent balance. |

Dead Weight Drifter. May look gross, but one
of my favorite obstacles for the cool down factor. |
Missing a picture of the Cliffhanger. Picture running through a muddy pit as above, then climbing out of it using some ropes. Ta da.

Another great Warrior Dash day! I'm sure I'll be back next year... if my legs stop hurting by then.
Great pictures! Did you bring a water proof camera with you? I wish I had a small camera to take pics with when I did it in June. :) PS: I follow you now, hope its cool.
ReplyDeleteD - I love that you have so many pictures. Did you take a waterproof camera or a camera in a bag?
ReplyDeleteWe had the Barricade one and I got the biggest bruise on the inside of my left thigh from that one. The Teetering one was so scary. I don't think we had the wood grooves on ours. It was just flat wood and very slippery. Dead Weight Drifter looks fun. I'd like that one! Our finish line was down hill and I jumped over the 1st fire and landed hard on my left knee and left it kind of snap back. I did not jump the 2nd one because of that. Other than that I loved it.
We finished in about 47 min. I'm hoping to finish it faster next time but having fun is the first priority!
That looks like quite the adventure. It's these types of events that make training more fun. It's motivation to prepare as well.
