Happy mudders’ day

I liked playing soft ball when I was a kid and in 9th grade I ran the hurdles on the track team, but I haven’t really gotten into some of the new sports.  When I saw the picture below that Matthew recently posted on his Facebook page I understood why.  Even if I had the wherewithal to participate in such an event, I’m not sure that I could afford the cost of laundering my uniform!

This is an event called the Warrior Dash and it’s held at quite a few locations around the country.  Matthew and several of his friends from work participated in the Warrior Dash held last Saturday in Crawfordsville, Indiana.  It’s basically a 3-mile long obstacle course with walls to climb, fires to jump, and a mud pit with barbed wire above that forces you to get down-and-dirty in order to pass.

Can you find Matthew? (August 13, 2011)

After seeing this I’ll have to admit that my bike rides and walks around the block seem pretty tame.

Note: As of July 30th, 2019 Warrior Dash has announced they are ceasing operations.
