We went. We Struggled. We Conquered!
Bright and early on Saturday morning, a group of the Sentient team braved the cold and lack of sleep, to drive to the Northam Army Training Camp where we battled through the cross country Warrior Dash obstacle course. After arriving and picking up our race kits which consisted of timing chips, number bibs and viking hats, we quickly got into our race gear and headed to the starting line. The race started with an uphill climb to the first obstacle of mud trenches, needing to crawl through it with barbed wire inches above our heads!!! 11 more obstacles followed, a mixture of jumping flaming coals, climbing vertical walls, swimming through muddy trenches and jumping hay bales. The dash distance was 5kms all up and the team finished a little spread out but everyone did an awesome job and completed every obstacle!
After accepting our medals at the finish line and a quick & cold wash down with a hose, we grabbed Doug’s wallet and headed for the bar and food stalls. They had live music to listen to and giant turkey legs to wolf down. I think we earned it!
A few cuts and bruises became apparent after a proper wash at home, but we all came out unscathed and proud!
Next year we’ll get the whole team doing it, start training people!
