Survived Warriordash!

So I survived the Warriordash race in Barrie, Ontario. Visit www.warriordash.com to see what the race is all about. Basically it is a 3.9 mile running course with obstacles throughout to test your skills and endurance. It test my endurance all right.
Nowhere on the website did they mention that the race is basically up and down a skill hill! That is a classic right there. The constant up and down the skill hills drained me more than the obstacles. I tried to plow through the hills (run) but I ended walking them. I did not feel so bad as almost everyone else in our wave was walking.
I had a blast though, and it was cool that it is the first Warriordash in Canada. So technically I am a part of history. The race was well organized. I was impressed with the organization and layout. Hopefully it will reoccur in Canada next year.
I will add some more details about the race later. I am super zonked. It was a long day. Here is one photo I will leave you with!

Military crawls in my martial arts class paid off!

Harp Away!

Everyone is harping on me to update my blog more often (or have better stories). Now that is a "Classic" right there. I haven't uploaded my New York photos to my computer yet so I have no pics to post. I promise next week I will sit down and write a juicy blog posting with lots of photos. I have tons to show you such as:

• a simulated mail drop of me using a NYC post box
• the Soup Kitchen from Seinfeld
• Jerrys Apartment (the show one and his real one)
• Yankee Stadium and Citifield

I took about 10 gigs of photos and videos. Someone joked that I should have a camera tan around my face since in theory I was holding a camera to face and taking pictures every ten seconds. Ha!

This weekend I am off to Barrie, Ontario to run in a race. The website is here: http://www.warriordash.com/. Wish me luck! I hope I don't gas out after rope climbing.

Add-on! (Double-down)

My pals comments consisted of the following (about eating the Double Down) :

"Wow that dude spent $14 on sandwiches. We could have eaten at East Sides instead"

and

"Wow Rob will do anything for a blog entry"

and

"Its toonie Tuesday. For the same price Rob could have eaten 14 pieces of chicken and seven side orders of fries"

Double down on the "Double Down".

NYC stories will be forthcoming but first I must blog about something I would not recommend to anyone that values their health. I have ever eaten a KFC Double Down sandwich before. Google the details of the sandwich if you must. Basically it is not good for you and contains the  daily calories and salt allowance for an average male in just one sandwich.
My intentions were to just eat one but one a dare from friends I "doubled down" and eat two. Ouch. And now I don't feel so good. And my friends call that the "meat sweats" Classic! Here are the pics and this post can be verified from 3 different sources.

P.S. I will never be doing this again!
