Re: Tough Mudder

  • Congrats on completing the tough mudder - what a great accomplishment!  My husband did this with a few of his friends and we were actually looking at the pics this morning.  My favorite phone call was on his way home ... "do you know where are clippers are?  I got a mohawk at the beginning of the race and need you to shave my head tonight because I can't go into work with a mohawk"

  • Awesome!  I have a good friend who did it and I was supposed to do it with her but that was the day of my baby shower so naturally the whole pregnancy thing interfered also :)  Maybe next year or the year after!!  OK, off to read your blog, yay :)

    Oh god no!   Last year I wanted to sign up for this year, and then when they signed up I was about, oh I don't know, 8 weeks or something?  So I couldn't do it.  After reading Jennys blog I'm thinking maybe I would have died if I had done it anyway:)  The running, geez.

    I bet you would really like it!!! It was definitely challenging and the running part was no joke. You can complete Tough Mudder without being a hardcore runner for sure, though make sure you have a decent base mileage. I personally think I had as much fun because I'm currently the strongest at running I've ever been.

    I really want to do this again next year but it really depends on my status of pregnancy (aka if I am or not- currently not FYI). Some of those obstacles were legit dangerous and I wouldn't do it even a few weeks pregnant... I mean really, you actually get electrocuted (with low Amps of course).

  • My H did it with his friends last Saturday and he tore a ligament in his heel area of his foot.  Kind of like where his achilles is. It's just a small tear but of course he got hurt, he is super athletic but also super klutzy.  He said he fell in a ditch when he jumped out of something.  Who knows, I just wasn't surprised when he called me on the way home and said he might need to go to the doctor on Monday.
  • Congrats on completing it and w/a great time! I loved your blog post! I would like to do that one day, have to whip myself into shape first though!

  • Your recap was exactly what I would have written if I did a recap. Question, my team and I did it in just over 4 hours which was horrible but then we realized that at at least 4 of the obstacles we had to wait 20-30+ minutes to participate. Your time was great, did you have that same problem? We were in the 10:20 group but it technically didn't start until 10:30-10:35.
