Tough Mudder (extreme foot race)

[Petra]

So, I know there's supposedly some fitness folks hanging around here. How many of you are in the UK (or willing to go over for an event) for one of next year's Tough Mudder events? :dunno:



Just curious!

Ive been wanting to enter one for awhile now....If there is ever one close enough...Im in.

There's one near London in May 2012 I'm eyeballing.

That actually looks like it would be a lot of fun. Now that I am in pretty damn good shape, I think I could come close to pulling one of those off...but that damn wall would probably be my downfall.


They do have something like that in Piqua. It involves a grueling one block walk from a fast food joint to a bar. The part that separates the obese from the morbidly obese are those who are able to waddle over the six inch curb without having to waddle over to the wheelchair ramp. The record time was a six hour waddle for that 15 foot trek.

This has started to gain some steam. There is one in Toronto this year, but I'm not ready. Me and some friends are aiming for the 2013 Tough Mudder in Montreal. I'm excited for this!!

My friend participated in the one in Tahoe last September. He said it was great. I'm too fat to compete in anything like it.

I'm skipping the one in london since I haven't been able to train for it. Instead, I'm doing a 16k in Amsterdam this fall.

Proud to say I completed the South West Tough Mudder UK yesterday fucking killed me but I'm still standing and roughly walking. Also my team raised 6000 pounds for charity so feeling good despite the pain. Really recommend anyone to do it I certainly will be back next year!

I'm doing the Macungie event in September.
