This past weekend I ran the tri-state Tough Mudder event, a 12-mile course complete with a grueling set of obstacles. A brief overview of the race went as follows.. Run 2-miles, jump in a freezing cold lake, swim 50 yards, run another 1/2 mile, swim back across the lake, run 10 more miles soaking wet/numb and cant feel your extremities. And sprinkled through the rest of it was a fair dose of crawling through mud, scaling walls, weaving flames, tire-carrying, and then a little more water at the end. In the end, it was a blast and I highly recommend doing it with a few of your good friends.. if you’re in to that sort of thing.
