| Congratulations to all survivors! The Slayer Scramble, The Battle for the Belt went off without a hitch! There were crazy runners dressed up like lounge lizards, salt shakers, prisoners, Mexican wrestlers, vendetta characters, and Mardi Gras partiers! Over 350 runners showed up for the "special" tour of Camp Slayer which included a mud pit, secret dark bunkers, a jaunt through the Baath Party House where the first strike of the war happened, the Victory over America Palace, Flintstone village and of course....the Obstacle Course. Mud, stairs, mud, kitchen oil, stairs, and more mud were on the menu and the racers enjoyed every minute of the nearly 7 mile course.
Congratulations to Rich Zielinski, the top male finisher, and LTC Erica Clarkson, the top female finisher and two time champion of Baghdad X-Dog events!
The pain of a broken heart will pale in comparison to the pain getting set for you on 13 February. Well if pictures are worth 1,000 words... you can see why we are returning to the desert for a second scramble. Special thanks to First Sergeant Gavin McIlvenna. Gavin and some of his crew have been working on an new route that is sure to provide a little distraction from your everyday stresses... or if nothing else get a little more sand in your skivvies. A message from Sergeant McIlvenna: Because you whined like little tired, muddy, lonely puppies to have another XDog adventure! Did you miss the last one? Have you heard the horror stories? Are you still looking for your muddy shoes? Excellent! Then mark the calendar and start stretching because the XDog listened! Just like last time you will be guaranteed to get dirty, muddy, bloody, twist an ankle, stub a toe, and if not careful take a dip in a lake. We will not give away too much information about the course; because SURPRISE is part of the adventure! So don't try calling the Mayor Cell or KBR...because they 1) Don't know the entire route, 2) Will tell you they don't know the route, and 3) have been sworn to secrecy on pain of involuntary extension in this garden spot not to give out any information! The race will be limited again, so first to register....first to get goodies! Be prepared for an awesome pre-race dinner! Register on-line via the form posted here. Do not send emails to the POC for registration, you have to do it through the website. **DISCLAIMER** The race organizer and POC are not responsible for any chewed shoes, lost shoes, broken shoes, shoe swapping (that has to be a violation of the UCMJ in some form or fashion), or muddy shoes. We will be responsible for capturing your precious moment on film and exploiting it for everyone's amusement. The race is limited to 450 runners, so first to register….first to get goodies and the pain... and the bragging rights that will last long past your tour! There is also some fun for the pansy asses: Watching. |
