The Warrior Race

My Boyfriend, dad and myself had entered our first Warrior Race to see what all the hype was about, especially after we had already completed 2 Impi Challenges (we compete under the name ‘Pea Pods’ as my dad and I are like peas in a pod and we are the ‘founding members’). The warrior was half the distance but full of obstacles that provided non-stop action – The distance was not an issue as we are all regular runners, but it was the upper body strength that would really test us.  My dad’s worst nightmare is muddy water, which we found ourselves in a lot, from crawling through small tunnels and under barbed wire to climbing up mud banks that send us sliding back into the water. For me it’s the heights that I dread, from the high climbing wall to the simple rope wall, either way if it’s a few feet off the ground I shake like a leaf in autumn (truthfully I stiffen up to the point that I actually knocked both my teammates to the ground when they tried to help me over the high wall).
