Tough Mudder So Cal!!

[LA_MERC_Drax]

I just returned from completing the Tough Mudder in Snow Valley, CA. That was one brutal event. 10 miles long, 6k feet of elevation climb, 23 obstacles over 4 hours and 20 minutes(btw, their ETA on completion is bogus, having to wait on other people to go through obstacles slowed things down big time)! Sore as a mofo today, but event completed!!!

Get 'em boy!

Heard a lot about it on the radio but there's no way my old, fat ass was getting anywhere close to that.

No. Freakin. WAY.

Though obstacle 23 looks like fun.

Congrats, man.

The obstacles were ok, the water was FREAKING cold, like shock cold. My hands were blue during part of the race. The electric shock at the end was crazy, it made me black out for like 2 or 3 seconds. Busting my knee open is what brought me back.

nice! warrior dash was way more my speed.. 3 miles vs. 10 lol!

[LA_MERC_Drax]

They actually had a sign around the 3.5 mile mark that said "You've reached the finish line of the warrior dash!, but this is the tough mudder, you're not even half way..."

Way to go! Impressive. If I were in good shape, it looks like that would be fun in a punishing sort of way.
