Fact. I feel like a Warrior. Matt, Pratik and I survived the WARRIOR DASH!

| My Warrior Buddy Pratik and I |
Another weekend in Whistler. The drive up is breath taking. The highway curves around a mountain and there are beautiful bodies of water and mountains (still ice-capped) the entire way to Whistler. I would have taken pictures but both the ride there and back my camera was in the truck of my friend's car. We were very busy singing in the car anyway.
On our way to the Warrior Dash...
The dash was fun actually. It wasn't as intense as I anticipated. It was really hot that day though, and a 3.1 mile obstacle course did take quite a bit of energy - especially the first 1/3 being uphill.
Some of the obstacles included climbing over a wall using a rope, lots of netted climbing structures, a mud slip-n-slide, a set of sloped balance beams over a mud pit, running over logs set on fire... and the last was crawling under barbed wire through a mud pit. The mud pit actually hurt a lot - the mud was rough and had little sharp stones in it which hurt my knees so so much. Got a couple scrapes, but nothing a warrior can't handle. We all did the dash in less than an hour.
This is after the dash and after we had been "hosed off" with giant fire-fighter hoses. The water was freeezing cold, but unless you wanted to be covered in mud all evening (and I mean COVERED) you had to hose off. Matt has pictures of us right after the dash where we're dripping in mud. I'll try to get those pics from him. Here we're collecting our free beer!

We stayed at Hotel Aava (which has a hot tub and outdoor pool... which is partly why we chose this hotel). After the dash on Saturday, we had dinner on the patio at Black's in Whislter Village. After that, we hit the hot tub for a couple hours back at the hotel, then went to a couple bars in the village.
