Warrior Dash
OK, I'll be headed to KC for Warrior Dash this weekend! My group runs at 3:00 on Saturday. Is anyone else doing it?

The high humidity is what is making it so miserable.

That is kind of odd when you look at their recent races... New England, Ontario, Washington, Minnesota, KC, Michigan, British Columbia... which one doesn't belong?

Yeah it was hot as hell when we ran at 10:30. Really the hardest part besides the heat was the damn mud after the small creeks. I was sure I was going to wipeout on some of the slopes. Overall I thought the obstacles weren't too hard.

Here's another article that shows his picture. He looks like he's in pretty good shape.
http://www.fox4kc.com/news/wdaf-frie...0,511672.story It's awful that this happened, but I don't think it's fair to blame Warrior Dash. They had three water stations for a 3 mile race. That's a lot. (The original plan was to only have 2. They added one presumably due to the heat.) They took good care of my diabetic friend who had to be carted off to the first aid tend due to blood sugar issues. I thought the event was very well run. |

It is sad that someone died but no one made him participate. The supposed lack of water on the course had little to do with this.
If the people were properly hydrated leading up to the event they would probably have been fine. |

Wow. Actually no. I just saw an update about the other guy this morning. He still has little to no liver function, which is causing him a bunch of other issues. He's still hooked up to a dialysis machine and they're loading him up with antibiotics to hopefully prevent any infections.

My only complaint was that the water at the aid stations was so hot, you didn't even really want to drink it. But with the multiple waves and the remote locations of the stations, I know the logistics of keeping ice stocked would be really tough.

I ran at 1230 on Sunday, and people were dropping like flies. Saw one broad passed out in the mud. It was so hot I got a headache, and was getting cold chills. Didn't feel right until Monday morning, but in the end I made that course my bitch. About a half hour after finishing, I was going to get a beer and a turkey leg and they shut everything down.
