I do need to shop Goodwill for some shoes. The shoes I planned on running in have soles that are barely attached. Doesn't seem safe to run in them.

Looks like the idea should be to chill between the start line and obstacle 1, sprint 1, 2, and 3, chill between 3 and 4...sprint 4, 5, and 6, chill between 6 and 7, sprint from 7 home.

Your plan sounds solid, but I'm thinking more like an 8 minute mile to the first obstacle so I can get ahead of the slow peeps.

I don't know what to expect at all, since I've never run an obstacle race. I need to do a 5k this week near a playground and mix in some monkey bars and stuff just to see how much it takes out of me. Watching the videos, everyone looks painfully slow. But I may be that slow in the middle of a 5k, too. I don't know.

I'm really regretting signing up for Color Me Rad and Warrior Dash... But not as much as I'm gonna be regretting it on August 11th.

By chill I meant normal 5k pace.

You outrun the pack too much, you will catch the VERY slow members of the 2:30 pack. Just saying.

I wonder if they would be upset if I ran down this?

At which point I will have ample opportunity to catch my breath. Being stuck behind 2:30 starters will give me a better time than being stuck behind 3:00 starters. That's just science.

I'm not that concerned with my time, as it seems Warrior Dash is horribly inefficient. But I would like to get through as quick as possible.
