Would you believe me if I said that running away from Zombies is my idea of a good time? Probably not. Well, prepare to be what-the-hecked as I reveal that in truth: It is.
As someone who enjoys the genre of horror a tad bit too much, being a part of #CurrysZombieRun was just the perfect way to spend Halloween. Plus, I got to do it with Ahmed, the boyfriend, who was constantly reminding me of my “meh” fitness level. All I kept hearing was how he wouldn’t wait on me, every man for himself, etc, etc, etc.
You probably know why I am underlining this behaviour of his. Because I crossed the finish line before him. Obviously. But let me describe to you what happened in the five kilometres between the start and finish lines.
We started at the stadium, led by the general/major who informed us how doomed we all were if we didn’t reach the evacuation point. He then led us straight into smoke with the first batch of walkers ready to take our lives away. Well, I say lives. What I really mean are three yellow patches strapped to our waists that Zombies were be keen on grabbing.
Through the smoke, the barbed wire, ditches and a pop-up quarantine area, we ran through zombies in chains, zombie brides, zombie kids, zombie groups, zombie loners, zombie zombies… You get it. Zombies.
That’s when we reached a dark tunnel where we literally could see nothing but could hear every single scream as lives were taken away right in front of us.
We then reached an obstacle course. After a bit of climbing and falling, pushing and pulling, we landed snap bang in the middle of the stadium field. Only this one was simply infested with zombies trying to tear your life-patches away. I breathed in, breathed out and I ran. I ran with intent to rugby tackle any zombie that was in my way. Bless those zombies, I hope my determination to get the “Survivor” badge didn’t scar them for the rest of their undead life.
As I reached the finish line with two lives remaining, I screamed… Where is Ahmed? He was left behind and got stuck in the middle of the zombie infested field running backwards and forwards clutching to his final life-patch. And somehow, through his super manoeuvring skills he passed the finish line straight to the free T-shirt stand. Of course.
It’s great to know that I can potentially survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Perhaps Ahmed and I should apply for the new cast member roles of the Walking Dead. I mean, we’ve got the experience. And according to this new found experience I’d last an episode or two longer than Ahmed.
Thank you Currys for having both of us there – and thanks so much for the Fitbit!
