Tough mudder was a blast to do.
The worst obstacle IMO are the Berlin Walls. Just exhausting and annoying.

Is 'Tough Mudder' the race where they post a sign around the 5K mark that reads "If this was Warrior Dash, you'd be finishing here" or something like that? Because that is awesome.

Yup - that's the one.
5k is a walk in the park compared to TM.

So wait, you RAN 12.5 miles on top of this? I think i ran a mile and a half once 10 years ago, and that wasn't much fun.

You should check out the Warrior Dash then, it is only 3.1 miles and they do different events all over the country.

Congrats to the Team Lockdown guys as well for participating!

Most of it....there was alot of trotting & hiking on the uphill parts, but yeah - we ran for a good deal of it. Run a mile, do an obstacle or 2...run another mile or so, do another obstacle. Repeat until you cross the finish line.

Not easy. Fun, but not easy.

The run I did didn't have a banner, but this is the tough mudder sign at 3.1

Stuntman, that's awesome man, congrats!
Did you get the tattoo?
What's your next challenge?

I'm planning on doing Tough Mudder in 2014, right now looking to run a 10k in the beginning of 2013 and building up from there. I've done a few of the 5k mud runs and they are a blast.
My ultimate fitness goal right now is to run a full marathon in 2015 on Rapa-Nui Island (Easter Island Marathon Travel and Entry Information - Marathon Tour and Travel and Entry Info).

Update....
well, we're hooked on these things now. We are signed up for Gladiator Run in June, another Tough Mudder (Tahoe) in July, and Spartan Beast in August. Might to Warrior Dash Nor Cal in October, but that will depend on my paintball schedule.

The physical change has been incredible....I went from being 40 lb overweight and couldnt run more than 100 yards without collapsing in a sweaty heap to a lean athlete who now runs 25-20 miles a week. At 42 years old, I think this is pretty darn good!

I feel ALOT better these days, physically & mentally.
