Saturday, April 30th we ran the Warrior Dash in Florence. We packed up the family and all our gear Friday night and spent the night with Phil's sister, she also watched our kids while we ran. Thank you Wendy!
Phil had to do physical exams all afternoon in Gilbert so it was a busy day and then we were to meet his family at the Scottsdale Train park for an Easter gig. Busy!
Here are just a few of the twelve obstacles that we "endured". In all honesty it wasn't as bad as we thought and if this pregnant body can haul herself up cargo nets, hay bales and over wooden barricades and under barbed wire then anyone can.
Our awesome Warrior Team
Brent, Terina, myself & baby, Phil
I wanted to get a belly shot and Terina kept saying there wasn't anything to get. She's kind.
We were clearly under dressed. Next time we will bring it hard core. There was even a team of Oompa Loompas.
Jumping over fire at the end. Woooo! Not really.
The final obstacle, the mud pit and barbed wire. It was cold and scraped up your knees. But there was no way around it.
Phil recognized two of his Midwestern professors/doctors and we ran with them, there was actually quite a showing for Midwestern. Some hardcore guys lapped us, we were the 9am heat and the 9:30 guys were crazy. We pretty much brought up the rear we were so slow. But we didn't care and it was still fun.
MWU!
I only had to stop and pee in the trees once. Thank you very much. :)
The next morning, at home, our Warrior babes sporting the souvenirs and their best tough guy face. Grrrr!
