Tough Mudder

[r6rollin]

I heard it actually isn't too bad to complete. I am going to wing it. When you think about it, its 17km with about 35 obstacles. So about an obstacle every 0.5km. I am starting at noon and from what I've heard there will be line ups at the obstacles. So as long as you can run for 0.5 km pretty fast then you will get small breaks every 0.5 kms. Hope this is the case, otherwise I am going to die.

this is what i was thinking as well, there are going to be line ups for every obstacle

Its the same as any event; if your goal is just to complete it, its doable by most. If you want to do it in a reasonable amount of time, then that's where prep is necessary. I would say just winging it is more of an option for the shorter events like the spartan sprint, warrior dash etc.... the tough mudder is a bit of a step above. The average completion rate is 78%.

btw If anyone is looking for a pretty intense workout, my trainer is running a 6 wk clinic specifically for the tough mudder. 6:30 - 8pm every tuesday night starting july 10th, $60 for the entire 6 wks, or $15 per drop in. Starting off at 10km + 10 workout stations working up to 16km + 16 stations in 1.5 hours. pm me for addtl details
