Hell Run? Hell yeah!








Hell Run was an awesome event!


Having run last years Warrior Dash I had at least some idea of what kind of day to expect. Trails, obstacles, loose rocks, hills, and more obstacles. This however was an animal of a different color.




The hills were steeper, the rocks were looser(if that's possible), the obstacles were bigger and better... from the thigh deep mud pits we had to go through, to the sand trap with barbed wire we had to go under, to the four sets of chest high walls that we had to go over. Not to mention the junked cars and old tires to navigate.

There was also the 15 foot wooden ladder that had to be climbed.





The stock pond swim was a definite twist i didn't see coming.








And that's not mention the fire jump.






It was a very challenging and exciting day but I have to admit, I was more than a little happy to see the finish line.

All I knew is that no matter what, I was gonna get one of those bad-ass Super-Man symbol shaped medals to put with my collection...

And I did!








Happy, Dirty, tired and satisfied with a job well done......


















As everyone knows, the event isn't finished until the beer is gone.















At the end of the day I felt like this....


But the high can't last too long, next week is Shiner G.A.S.P. Stay tuned.....
