I’ve never seen so much mud before, nor have I been covered in so much mud until Warrior Dash. But as gross and muddy as it was, it was totally awesome.

The race started with a boring 2km run, but after that we reached the fun stuff – the obstacles. They involved climbing ropes, jumping over walls and cars, trawling through mud (multiple times), crossing waist-height rivers with logs in the way or via ropes, walking planks, jumping over fire and much more.

I didn’t have my camera with me so I stole a few photos from Michael. Thanks Michael!

The fire jump was actually higher than I thought. I was half hoping the rain would put it out but it kept strong.

The last obstacle was the really muddy one: crawling under barb wire. We actually saw some hair caught on the barb wire. Hehe.

Thumbs up to those who jumped right in.

Two thumbs up to this guy – face first. Nice one!

After the race we all took a dip in the swamp. Totally gross but we had no choice.

Along the way we saw heaps of shoes that got ditched. One of our friends lost his shoe in the mud pit and when he tried to get it back he pulled up two other shoes that weren’t his. Not sure what they’re going to do with these shoes. Shoe donation pile.

So would I do it again next year?
Totally! Who’s with me?

Any takers?
