 Topic: Tough MudderPosted: 23 July 2011 at 12:42pm |

In just over 22 hours I will be competing in the Wisconsin Tough Mudder. It's a 10 mile obstacle course mud run on the side of a ski hill. To train I've been running excessively, up to ten miles, and doing body normal body weight resistance training. Prepping for this race I've probably lost around 15 pounds and am finally back to the point where I'd say I'm in great shape again.
Wish me luck. Also, which shirt should I get? Be sure to check out obstacle 25..... |

I intend to do this as soon as I can get myself ready for it.
And the 25th obstacle looks....leet. |

Footprint T is the way I'd go. And after #25, I say the curled up in a ball crying comment from earlier applies.

Good luck, Mbro.
The Tough Mudder raises a lot of money for a very good cause.

^^ I'm out of shape, but what's the details on the central Texas events. I had some friends do "The warrior dash" earlier this year.

One of the guys in my group has already consumed 2 protein shakes tonight and is planning on consuming 15000 calories worth of "gainers" for breakfast. He's quite scrawny.

the shock really isn't that bad...its like sticking a fork in a socket or licking a 9 volt...the one that i hated the most was the 2 rope bridge, i hit the water (which turned out to be 35-40 degrees, so have fun with that) and couldn't breathe because it was so cold.

I did it in 2:24, I passed a large amount of people in the two groups that started before mine (1 group every 20 min). I was in the top 30 for my group and I still got passed by 3 guys right before the finish that started 20 min after me.
I was well trained for it so it wasn't that bad, the obsticals weren't that tough and just slowed me down because of people that took their sweet time on them. I ran through the shocks with my arms out because I thought it would be funny, it was. I got hit 6-8 times pretty good. |

He could eat most of an MRE; that would cover it. And he wouldn't have to worry about stopping to go . . . . . . for the next several days. |
