What's in a name
Dustin \d(u)-stin, dus-tin\ is a man's name, is pronounced DUS-tin. It is of Old German and Old English origin, and the meaning of Dustin is "brave warrior"

Sure enough...
www.warriordash.com I finished in the top 2% of all entrants (then again, there were people dressed up as bumble bees wearing tu-tu's - and I think I even saw a couple Elvi(plural for Elvis') so that's not saying a whole lot .... But anyway..it was 3.2 miles, 14 obstacles finished off with a swan dive into the mud, and washed down with a fire hose shower and a warrior sized beer mug - definitely something to put on "ya'lls" bucket list.

I like the sound of any run that includes bumble bee costumes and tutu's!! I think I will find a race around here.
Peshaw! I'm happy you had fun at your little girly tutu race.
But if you really want to prove that you're a warrior you're gonna need to do the Tough Mudder.

I suggest you start training soon. Get back to me on this one.
I checked out the tougmudder.com...and the sound scared me to death on the website...it looked doable......then I found:
Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. It’s Ironman meets Burning Man, and it is coming to a location near you. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. All Tough Mudder sponsorship proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish a Tough Mudder event. Only those in strong physical condition should enter.
