Have any of you run in a marthon like the Warrior Dash? Link: https://www.warriordash.com/
I ran it last weekend and didn't work out/train for it at all, lol... It was a lot of fun though! I finished it 25 minutes before the rest of my co-workers. Just over 3 miles, mountainous terrain, and 13 obstacles in the middle of it. It was tons of fun!
Not a marathon, but I had a sports teacher (former athlete) in high school who used to set up various events every trimester and grade us based on our performances. He once set up a timed event similar to the Warrior Dash one - running a 1km distance of mixed terrain and obstacles under 2' got you an A+, 2' got you an A, and for every 2secs above that time we'd loose half a grade (A-, B+, B, B-, etc.); don't remember what time disqualified you completely, but I do remember running it in 1:58:00 - and being exhausted for the rest of the day. ;-P Have any of you run in a marthon like the Warrior Dash?

And though he was quite old (or at least that's how we saw him through our teen eyes) he was really tough and trained with us, usually keeping up with the best of us. Sadly cancer got him during my last year in high school - RIP.
