My mate Mike emailed me this week with the subject ‘Warrior Dash’. Who would have thought this would be the starting point of a soon to be epic road trip, filled with Viking hats, beer, camping and camp fires?
For the record I’m not a camping kind of guy – though I am a beer drinking, lighting fires and having a road trip kind of guy. On second thought, saying I like lighting fires doesn’t sound too good so hope you get my point?
What is Warrior Dash?
A 5km extreme obstacle course event held up north in NSW bushland. Basically there are a series of challenges to compete in, ranging from jumping through junk yards, running across fire all the way to crawling through mud while trying to dodge barbed wire – all while wearing a viking hat.
Stupid sounding I know, but the road trip and stupidity of the event will be amazing.
So far we have 5 of us going. All camping the night on the grounds so that we can have ‘after dash’ beers with other viking helmet wearing people.
Why are we doing this?
- Good fitness
- Something different
- Viking hats, nuff said
- We recently became fascinated with Parkour (Google it)
It cost us $50 each to enter and will be a funny day.
I have the intentions to go the blue facepaint like ol’ Mel from Braveheart, a nice bushy moustache and a ‘bring back the biff’ t-shirt.
Visit Warrior Dash for more information. Pictures to follow after Feb 12th 2011, stay tuned!
PS: We are in the 1.30pm heat should you want to join.
