Keith, Dan, Ryan
Greetings Race Fans!
It is now common knowledge that the world is going to end in two years (2012). Those of us lucky enough to be representatives for Team Dandies feel that for Dandies to continue in a post apocalyptic world we need to be strong mentally and physically. While we train for this on a daily basis it is good to get outside the walls of the CSD compound to be challenged in new ways. When we heard about the Warrior Dash (warriordash.com) we knew there could be no better test for the challenges of 2012. This 3.1 mile course in Joliet, IL offered more than a few obstacles. Giant mud pits, barbed wire, cargo nets, walls, hay bails, tires, cars to jump over, predators….you get the idea.
Team Dandies had a great showing, and congratulations to Keith Woods for coming in 4th in his age group and fourth is his heat averaging just over a 6min mile, which is sick considering the terrain AND obstacles. Team Dandies had two top 10 age group finishers and Ryan, who only trains at the skate park, somehow managed to run just over a 7min mile. How he does this with never running I have no idea, I can only assume it is the nonstop diet of Dandies and Pro Bars. As for this esteemed writer, I showed up to the race about 5-10 min after the gun went off. Let me tell you, there is no better feeling than passing about 200 other competitors, kicking mud in their face as I zoomed by. I can only imagine the satisfaction I would have if I were able to compete at the Senior Olympics. Anyway….
