The Race entry that scares me!!!!

The race that scares me!!!!!!!! I have said earlier in the year I would love to do a Tough Mudder or a Warrior Dash. Well I had seen some advertisements about a Fugitive Run and noticed it was held local (the other two races are at least a 2 hour drive from home). I looked at the site and what was said about it and pondered the idea of "maybe" registering.

 

The week leading up to the Freezin for a Reason 5k I noticed one of the prizes that would be drawn was an entry to the Fugitive Run. I commented on the post that it looked like a fun race. Never gave it a second thought.

 

When I arrived at the race Saturday I got my packet and as I was standing there trying to get my race bib pinned on my costume, Laurie came up to me and handed me something that was folded up. I opened it and it was the coupon for the Fugitive race!! I was speechless. For one I never "win" anything and two never thought I would be the recipient of the coupon she said it was their way to thank me for helping out and for posting and re posting about the race on my facebook page. To say I was excited was an understatement!

 

Of course I wasn't around any others that were in to doing races so no one but my friends husband found my excitement in it. He had thought about doing the race since he is a cop.

 

Yesterday I sent the email to the address that was listed on the coupon and waited. Well got the reply and directions on how to enter and use the coupon. Never in my life have I had to fill out a death waiver for anything. Lets just say it was SCARY!!

The reply to my email registration:

You are registered!

We'll see May 25th!

Happy training, D'ettra 

I asked a couple friends of mine if they would like to do the race and they are thinking about it. I think it would be awesome to have a girl team to compete in the race. If not I will do it on my own (fingers crossed I can get a couple brave souls talked in to it).

 

Yesterday I started to worry about the training aspect of it. The race is May 25 so I have some time to get ready just not real sure what to do. But I will figure it out because I have something to prove. Back when I mentioned doing an obstacle course race my husband told me I'd never be able to do it.. Sorry that's the wrong thing to say to this girl!
