Kansas City Events: Warrior Dash 2011

Warrior Dash. 2011.

This event hit KC like a fierce storm with a hellish combination of heat, sweat, fire, mud…and BEER!  Every adrenaline junkie in a 100 mile radius I would bet made their sludge through the mud pit and over that finish line.  My neighbor and friend, Krysia, was among those crazy fools.  …and next year, I will be there too!  In fact, we had planned for months to signup for the southern Missouri race, and when Warrior Dash released KC as it’s newest location…AND it just happened to be right down the road from our house (literally walking distance), we got pumped!  Excited until we saw it had sold out.  🙁  Oh well…at least I got to see Krysia indulge in the madness.

In an amazing turn of weather for our area, Friday night’s rain storm had made for very very pleasant Saturday morning racing weather.  This was the scene at Warrior Dash, KC 2011 on Saturday, July 3oth at 8:55am.And this was at 9am.  I spent 20 minutes attempting to find Krysia among the crowd and only finally caught a glimpse of her as she ran past at the 9am sweep.It was amazing how many people attended.  I found these two cool crazies twice (before and after).  This is Logan’s mother and boyfriend (from the recent Mexico Destination Wedding).  Small world!This was the scene at 10:30am.I was so proud of Krysia…she finished 2nd in her age division and received this badass trophy.  Had to share.Next year baby!  LOOK OUT!
