After a memorable weekend in 2011 participating in the Warrior Dash up in Copper we decided to return for the event in 2012. We also vowed to bring more effort to the actual running of the course as we pregamed a little hard the year prior. 

We had a different and smaller crew than the year before with a few of us being the return participants. We welcomed the newcomers and the return guests alike. We stayed overnight in copper at a condo again the night before the race.

Our level of effort during race day was much improved from the year prior in which we really just took photos and splashed in mud. We didn’t stick around for nearly enough of the fun event festivities this year and some of us even crashed after the race. 

All in all it was another great event and what ended up being our last time running the Warrior Dash race event.
