This weekend one of my best friends and I did the Kosama Warrior Water Run at Sleepy Hollows Sports Park in Des Moines. I was quite nervous; it's only a 5K, but there were 30 obstacles throughout the course! We started off by running through a puddle of mud and over a dirt mound... then into a stream! My favorite part was "dumpster diving" because it was basically swimming through dumpsters covered with a tarp and filled with water. It was so hot and humid, so the water felt nice! The only part we couldn't really do was this rope climb (due to the mud which made getting a good foot hold non-existent!). Thankfully, some guy was nice enough to pull us up! We ended by going down the huge Slip and Slide at the end. Confession: I had to push myself about halfway down before I really got going. But man! The second half was fun! J-Gaff and I finished in 49.30 and actually tied for 4th for the female 20-24 age division, so we were happy! I was quite tired by the end, and my arms are still sore.

The great thing about the race was that it was an exciting way to exercise! So get out there, and make it fun!
