Tough Mudder

Sunday, I officially joined the ranks of many before me and became a Tough Mudder.  If you’ve never heard of this before, Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile long obstacle course and it was first developed by British navy seals.  It’s designed not to be a race, but a challenge.  It’s more about team work and camaraderie than it is about trying to get the best time.

I was lucky enough to participate in the New England Tough Mudder at Mount Snow Vermont’s Ski Resort and I now know that mountain like the back of my hand.  I chose to participate partly because I love working out and thought that my fitness level would lend itself well to how I did during the course, but also because I was afraid of it.  The closer it got to the big day the more nervous I got.

Having completed this for the first time I have to say that I’m a super bad-ass!  I’ve completed a course going through ice, water, mud, climbing, running and electric shock.  

Two of my teammates wore a a Go Pro camera throughout the obstacles and already made a cool video of the event.  Check out the video!
