BML Report post Posted January 14, 2012 Anyone racing in the Tough Mudder this weekend? I'll be there with my cousin. We start at 12:40 tomorrow. I did the Warrior Dash last May, but that was a walk on the beach compared to this one. I'm excited, nervous anxious, you name it!! lol Good luck if you are racing!

BML Report post Posted January 14, 2012 Well I'll find out today if I'm in good enough shape! I've never run any type of race that's this long or challenging so it will be a real test of endurance for me. Mthorsrud, Take a look at the Spartan Race. It's coming up in February. It's very similar. I'll probably do that one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BML Report post Posted January 15, 2012 Nice! That girl is way cuter than you mud or no mud... haha. That's my cousin. She ran the Warrior Dash with me too. She gets lots of looks out on the course. She also gets lots of offers to help her climb over the 12 foot walls, but she's a bad a$$ and always does it by herself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
second shot Report post Posted January 15, 2012 My wife and I ran it yesterday and had a blast. Nothing like ice water and electricity to start a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BML Report post Posted January 15, 2012 Here's a neat little sequence. Shows just what 10,000 volts of electricity will do to a grown man! So far so good here. I'm half way through and haven't been hit yet. Only some of these wires are live, but no idea which ones they are. A few steps later and BAM! I got hit in the left side. Felt like someone just kicked me in the ribs. A few more steps later and I got hit on both forearms at the same time!!! Dropped me like a bag of bricks. Then came the worst thing I have ever felt in my life. After getting hit with two at once, I couldn't get back to my feet. I started crawling through. I thought I was done and one hit my right behind the left ear!! You can see it in this pic. That one basically put me face first into the mud and for a second or two I couldn't move at all. I guess you could say I crawled or wiggled or whatever until I finally was able to get back on my feet. Last one is of me finally on my feet walking across the finish line. I'm still a little dizzy when my cousin comes over laughing. She saw the whole thing happen since she wussed out and skipped the obstacle!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BML Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Here's one of the monkey bars over the ice cold green water. Normally monkey bars wouldn't be an issue, but this was somewhere around mile 10 when everyone was just about toast. The bars spun and inclined and then declined. Second shot, If you have any pics of you and your wife competing, post them up! Glad to see some more folks who ran it as well. We had a blast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
