A couple of weekends ago, I had the pleasure of meeting up with a rowdy bunch of ladies for the Diva Dash 2012 here in Austin. It was a women's only 5K trail and obstacle run through a park with a SWAG party afterwards. With sponsors such as Origins, Luna, Birkenstock and Sahale, I knew I was in for some goodies!
Is it sad that I'm talking more about the SWAG and less about the race?
Our race wave began at 8:15am and we took off running through mulch, barreling through obstacles such as a bungee maze, balance ball tire run, bubble tent, log run and rope wall. I gracefully bowed out (ignored the race moderators) of the water portion of the race, seeing as how it was freezing out, thanks to a cool front that came in the night before.
Well, and I just bought new shoes and wasn't interested in breaking them in on the bottom of a dirty park lake.
Blisters and Ebola? Pass.
