—WARRIOR DASH—
The name alone stirs me. When I was a little boy, I would put on my dad’s old Air National Guard fatigues, paint my face with green/black/brown commando paint, shoulder a toy gun, assume another identity, and go out into our yard for hours and hours doing missions and top secret surveillance of my neighbors activities. They were never doing anything all that interesting; but because I was a Navy Seal, hiding silently and still in our shrubbery, it was awesome.
I am turning 24 years old in 62 days. 26 days after, I will continue my childhood pursuit~ The Warrior Dash. The website provides an overview that says “Welcome to America’s most insane race. Warrior Dash lands in Texas for the first time in 2010 where 14 obstacles from hell await along this 3.51 mile course. Are you a warrior?”
Doesn’t every guy want to be a warrior? To live a life of principle, without compromise, taking risks for the greater good.. I want that. I don’t think completing the Warrior Dash in and of itself necessarily makes me a warrior. But something deep down inside of me would like to think so.
Ah playing soldier, great times! Almost as fun as playing paint ball!
I enjoyed this short read. It made me laugh to picture the little commando Josh in a bush, but it also makes a great point. Fighting for the greater good …
@Daniel thanks for reading man. I still laugh thinking about those memories! So much fun! I’m glad to be fighting for the greater good knowing there are men like you with me at the front lines.
Alan, I have something like 1,000,304,456 awesome memories of skirmishing around your property! Crookham Farm = Epic.
You’re so hardcore! haha! Good luck!!
@Sherene Ha thanks. Not nearly as hardcore as raw foodists though!
I loved the blog! My best friend did warrior dash and now a whole bunch of us have signed up for Spartan race, a similar set up but top competitors win the chance to be flown to the international race called Death Race, the toughest race ever to exist. I heard they are doing a reality tv show too, so you can earn glory and honor worldwide.
I am by no means an athlete either, but i missed the warrior and this looks awesome too.
@Selica Thanks for the read and thoughts! Death Race sounds amazing and I’m gonna check it out fo sho.
The Death Race is ridiculous : http://www.youmaydie.com/
