Anybody entered Tough Mudder?
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:36:59 PM »
Anybody here gone through with this?  A friend is putting together a team and has been bugging me to join.  No way I could pull this off, especially with only 4 months to train, just curious if anybody here has done it.

And for those who don't know what it is:  http://toughmudder.com/
RIP KYOTA

No personal experience on my part.

A word about timing and intent: The smallest good deed is far better that ANY good intention. Unless they kill you if you don't finish...really, what do you have to lose?
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

I have not done it.  From  the pics I get from my cousin and her team, it sounds like fun more than competition.  Which in my opinion seems pretty cool.

Yup, it's not a race, it's a personal challenge.  You can bypass obstacles if you want.  My biggest concerns are general conditioning and joint issues.  Conditioning I can work on in 4 months if I really wanted to enter, joints are screwed if joints are screwed.  That'd be the biggest thing keeping me out of it.
