I want to do survive DC so badly 😩
i'm so excited. just a few more hours. tomorrow night is going to be so incredibly epic i can hardly stand it. and i'm bringing a friend this year, instead of just meeting up with a group of people i only ever see once a year and am lucky to even remember.
i will always remember collin and ted and nathan though holy shit you shirtless maniacs i'm so glad you're on my team...
here's the official first preview of the Survive DC documentary from last year's event! i'm not in it, but some of my teammates are (the shirtless guy with blue body paint).
this year's event is May 31st, and the after-party will have a full 8 minute trailer and (hopefully) a release date!
I spent most of my run today going over the things I need to bring for Survive DC, which is now a mere 2 weeks away. The list is actually longer than you'd think, but only because I don't actually bring my entire wallet. ID, debit card, $30 cash, cell phone, iPod (only because I have a dumb phone and can't use the Internet otherwise), pen, SmartTrip card, car key (but not the whole fob), watch, bandaids, advil, plastic baggie in case it rains, if possible a protein bar, maybe a water bottle but I'd have to carry the thing in my hand. And then I have to make sure I turn on mobile alerts for the official twitter feed and the good player fairy, and eat a huge dinner right before, and actually charge my phone completely. Also leave some arnica in the car for after to try and mitigate the inevitable sore muscles.
wahhh it's 45 degrees out and i have to go do my run now. at least my cramps have abated so i don't actually feel like shit currently...
also, in commenting to my coworkers last night about having to get up earlier than i like to to go running, i explained why i was training and turns out one of my coworker friends has actually done survive dc a couple times. he also might've seen me the year i was the good player fairy. and then he started trying to convince his bandmate that they should enter this year and yeah. i'm just recruiting all my coworkers for this thing! (my friend liv is gonna run with me on my team, and another coworker is going to start a team with her friends.)
haha i meant to start my running program 2 weeks ago, and then i meant to start it today, but then i got lazy and also my little ipod shuffle isn't charging anymore. so i'm gonna start it tomorrow. because survive dc is in 6ish weeks and i have zero stamina...
I wanna do surviveDC next yeaar o:
Here I am at the finish! I didn't actually finish, but I guarded my remaining team members so they could finish. Ughhh I'm so hungry!
