The Warrior Dash was in Tennessee for the first time this year in Manchester. It was at the same location Bonaroo is. The Warrior Dash was not only a 5K race, it was an obstacle course too. There was a total of 10 obstacles through out the course. We had to climb over walls, jump through tires, go over cars, army crawl through a dark tent in the mud, go under several barb wires, climb over and down different kinds of huge walls, jump over fire, and swim through 3 feet of mud all while running the long 3.15 miles. I have ran several 5Ks before for other causes, but this one was by far the hardest. Usually I finish in 30 min but this one took me a little longer. I finished with mud from head to toe, blisters all over my feet, and sweat everywhere all in 45 minutes. I am a girly girl so having mud on me was quite the sacrifice! Oh and I am still recovering from the deep blisters by the way! After the race everyone took off there shoes to donate and put them in a pile that ended up being almost 10 feet tall. Thousands of people ran the race in groups all throughout the day. The end of the day result was thousands of muddy and accomplished people, shoes over 10 feet tall, and a little over 1 million dollars raised to support people in poverty. I would say that serves as a good day!
