We're doing the DASH You can come too

We are doing it again! The dirty Dash

You can join in, just let us know. Come one come all.

Here is our post from last year:

Here are some tips for doing the dash and yes we are doing it two more times this year! 

 The only part of your body that stays clean is your mouth, you hope!

 Doing the dash makes you closer as a couple

 Dawson doesn't like to get his hands dirty!

 Consider wearing sunglasses from the dollar store to protect your eyes and of course use Chums!( as demonstrated in the next picture of Dan, below).

 You will loose  your shoes so don't wear ones that you intend to keep!

 in fact, at the end of the race, donate them!

 After donating your shoes, you walk back to the parking lot in your socks!

Stay tethered to your child, the whole time, THE WHOLE TIME!

There are thousands of people and many children were waiting at the customer service desk to be picked up by their parents, because they had been lost. Keep your children close, we used THE LEASH and it was worth it!!

 Lucky you! You get a FREE shower after the race. It comes from the melting mountain snow, but its free! OR  bring 5 bucks and before the race pay for a heated shower and avoid the lines, and the arctic freezing temperatures! And really the shower does NOTHING to get you CLEAN!!

 Put putty plugs in your child's ear, you don't want anything going in there if they have ear tubes!!

If anything, make this a family event!!!

 I did not get as dirty because I worked the camera!

Your children will thank you for this experience after they have recovered from their arctic shower!

After the race, Head over to The Dairy Keen

 Don't worry about washing your face before you eat!

 Asses the damage, but don't worry about it, it will all wash off in the end!

 No matter how many times you wash your hands, it stays on, embrace it, for once...

Everyone attending the Dash, even if you are watching from the bleachers, you will get dirty regardless of any precaution that you may take, so be prepared to enjoy mother earth and all of her mud an glory and next time, don't watch from the bleachers!

And next time, Don't roll down the hill to make your friends laugh, sometimes you can not calculate the slope you are on the the speed that is inevitable that you will pick up as you continue to roll down the mountainside!

 Although Dan's injuries do not look very deep, they are filled with mud and took a month to heal!

Wear your lucky socks while doing the dash!

And when it is all said and done, do it again!

He's had an awesome day!
