warrior dash, spartan dash, tough mudder

[Drifte]

Been pretty busy, but I was wondering if there's many people are here involved in any of these events? A group of us did a Tough Mudder in May and it was so much fun this weekend were doing a Warrior dash in Desmoines.

Anyone else going to Warrior dash this saturday?

If you are even thinking about doing one, do it. But the events fill up very fast.

warrior dash 3.4 miles
spartan dash 7 miles (I think)
tough mudder 12 miles

I'll see if I can upload some pics from the events later.

Luckily this is a short one, but we'll be in DSM looking for things to do after if anyone has any ideas. I hear there's a warehouse of trampolines somewhere in DSM.

Ya, I think its extreme dodgeball or zero-gravity dodgeball or something. IDK where it is, but I'm hopefully getting a league together this winter!

You amateurs. If you were real men, you'd do this with me:

Yahoo ran a story on it a couple of days ago. I think this is probably the single coolest thing I have ever heard of in my entire life.

[Drifte]

Nonsense, my dad and I were going to do the Bonk hard Chill race. It a 7-12hr "
Mountain biking, cross country foot travel, paddling, navigation competition. "

Did not get signed up in time for that one.

[Xboosted23X]

I am signed up but going racing instead. skyzone is in grimes I think.

[Domestic Disturbance]

that looks awesome, but i'd be too tempted to hit/kick/trip the zombies. i don't fuck around with that shit. me showing up unarmed is about as much compromise about anything concerning zombies as you're going to get out of me; real or not.

Haha, that's what I was thinking. I would be too tempted to try out my skills as if it were a real zombie apocalypse.

Also funny, the crazy high f stop and lighting scenario put so much depth in the pics than Im clearly pictured in the first 5 big group pics. Its like wheres waldo. Kim's a very talented photographer. However from here on pics are random ones Im stealing from people off the internet.

The most dreaded part of Tough Mudder. These dangling lines carry 10,000 volts at random...so I ran.

We started the Tough Mudder with shirts. They get very heavy, and uncomfortable quickly though. Even all of our GF's had trouble knowing who was who in some of these pics:

[AutoMods]

what was the toughest part? I'd imagine the monkey bars would be tough if wet and tired

[ia240drifter]

here are a few pics from our warrior dash in iowa we ran at 10am great times even though my penguin suit got awfully hot and heavy!!

[Chase]

Otto haha, you wore that penguin suit the whole time?

[ia240drifter]

haha yea the whole run! it got real hot at about mile 2 lol oh and keep an eye out for drift penguin at the next drift event i attend ;)

[Drifte]

The Penguin costume is awesome, I think you would have died if you wore it at our 3:30 run time. The ninja turtles team was awesome too.

hardest part of the Tough Mudder...hard to say.

Monkey bars were surprisingly difficult because your hands are muddy, and it makes it hard to breath. The bars also angled up and back down. The arctic enema was hard to get amped up for but REALLY cools you off (Jump in a pool full of ice water, duck under a wall in the middle and climb back out). The big quarter pipe wall was actually easy. I guess the hardest part is running for 12 miles on the hilly off axis course.

[Sunny Z]

I know there is another one of these on Aug 12(?) in Des Moines. Anyone going?

[Drifte]

I wont be doing any until maybe october. Wedding in Sep. and with my luck I'll come out with a broken leg.
