Things that make me happy... Tri State Tough Mudder 2013


Things that make me happy... Tri State Tough Mudder 2013






If you want to take on a physical challenge with a mental twist... Try a Tough Mudder near you.



What is Tough Mudder? This is an ultra hard core obstacle course built around a 12 mile run. Yea... It's its in the mud.  No joke. There is soooo much mud.





The Pledge.

1. I understand that Tough Mudder is not a race but a challenge.
2. I put teamwork and camaraderie above my course time.
3. I do not Whine -- Kids whine.
4. I help my fellow Mudders complete the course.
5. I overcome all fears.

Finishing feels so good.



So this guy... gets you pumped. And then it starts...



At first it just a run on a nice day...

And then the craziness begins... you carry things.




Water... And Fire.




Reaching new heights... 





A little team work... A little electrical shock to wake you up in case you need it.


And then after you think you done the worse... The Arctic Enema! Freezing water to shock the system.




This is a little crazy... but what's a little crazy among a few thousand friends!


Pros
1. The training before is really good for you. Upper body, core, running, and so much more.
2. Finishing the race... a good feeling.
3. Helping others finish the race... priceless.

Cons.
1. Mud, Mud, Mud.. Plan on 40 minute shower afterward. It goes everywhere.
2. Plan to give away your sneakers... They will be done. Can't get the mud out ever.
3. You can't finish this alone. Bring a friend or make one or two.
