Pre Warrior Dash Hawaii 2013 |
The parking situation this year was a lot better this year. It was much more organized this year, and the drive to the parking lot was closer. We were supposed to start the race at 9:30, but we didn't actually start until 9:45. There were 2 separate lines for each wave that were released every 15 minutes. We got really confused at the start because we thought they would let everyone go at once, but we had to wait about half an hour before we got to start. They said last year the course was too crowded releasing everyone at once, which is why they changed it this year. The obstacles were less crowded and everyone was a little more spread out so that was good. I felt the actual obstacles were harder than last years course. There were a lot more vertical obstacles where you had to lift yourself up. I finished in about 50 minutes this year, beating my time from last year (mostly because I tried to run the whole thing rather than walk).

Warrior Dash this year was a lot of fun, but I wish they had the same things as last year. I felt like they were missing a lot (seriously, how can you have no turkey legs?). We even got some fruit and granola last year, but nothing this year. I think I would definitely do it again next year though. I am thinking about doing the Spartan Race which will be at Kualoa Ranch in August. They are only allowing pre-registration now, and I'm not sure how much it will be, but it sounds fun. Who's going??
