Warrior Dash in Manchester, TN

Not a great picture, but we didn’t take too many pics. Here is part of our group that went up to Manchester, TN to run the Warrior Dash and then camp out nearby. Beau, Frank, Chris, Drew all fresh and clean before the race.

My mom even made the trip with us. Brave soul is all I have to say and she may be ruined forever. Mom and Frank

Chris and I before the race. Can you tell from these bright pictures how strong the sun was this day? It was so hot!

Mom and I before the race. She was so nervous, but I just told her she can always walk and she can always go around some of the scary obstacles. To her credit she ran most of the 3.5 mile course and she did EVERY obstacle. (which were not easy). THis race was much harder than the one we did in Georgia back in May. Good work mom.

Here we are back at camp, which was hardly camping from what I knew, but now that I know how this works, I may resort to only this kind of camping from now on. So we “camped” at a campground not far from the race, where you park your car, unpack your stuff right there (no backpacking all your gear), pop up your tent, blow up your air mattress, start your fire in your fire ring, pour your water from your spick et, and plug in your t.v. into the socket. Sounds like “normal” camping right? I must say, it was nice. Did you pick up on the blow up mattress? Yes Chris insisted that he have one and since he got a queen, guess what? I got to sleep on it too. So with the plug in t.v., CHris and Jay working incredibly hard on hooking up satellite so they could watch the football games. Oh yeah, there was a grill there too and Clint grilled all of our food.

We rented 2 spots and they were back to back. Here a just a few of the tents.

So our crew consisted of Chris and myself, Clint and Sarah, Jay and Amanda, Mom, Beau, Frank, Ash, Drew. We missed those of you that could not come, but had a blast with the ones that went.
