It was a BLAST!!! But lets give you more than that. Some background for you - I have run 5ks off and on for a few years - and was a runner back in highschool. My wife was a sprinter in highschool, and hasn't really run since. I ask her if she wants to join me - on just about every 5k I THINK about doing, not even just the ones I do run. She always says no. Well, For the Warrior Dash - she said yes. Seriously. I was suprised too!

The drive was peaceful, and since we arrived around 8:30 - the parking was nice and close as well (although another $10.) We headed up to packet pickup, got our stuff (very smoothly organized I might add) - and headed back to the car (since it was so close, why not leave our valuables there?)
Some of the costumes were GREAT. We saw some Smurfs in tutus, folks in grass skirts and countless matching t-shirts. And we were only in the parking lot! (It got better when we got up to the race!)
We dropped off the sweat pants and excess clothes, pinned our numbers on and headed up to the gear-check. My car keys went into the check under my bib number (this becomes important later - as my wife explains), and off to Races!
