Yeah! Tough Mudder was a huge success! We had a blast! It was much better than the last time, too. The weather was perfect, overall I was in much better shape so I ran most of the time. My left calf started cramping at the half way point, unfortunately so the second half was slightly more challenging than it would have been with two non-cramped calves. I wasn't even tired or sore afterwards, however, the right side of my groin started acting up but it wasn't a big deal.

If you didn't know, six of us made a 8.5 hour drive down to Augusta, Georgia where our hotel was. The even was about an hour West of that location in Washington, Georgia. We woke up at 6am and started at 9:40. Took about 3.5 hours to complete.

All the obstacles were so much fun...even getting shocked by Electric Eel and Electro shock Therapy. Arctic Enema wasn't even that bad! Other obstacles jumping over fire into 9 or so feet of muddy water. Crawling through lots of mud under barb wire. Crawling through water with our backs towards the ground and a cage above us so we glided through without touching the bottom in the cold water. Mud mile was a touch one though because the water was so cold...it wasn't an actual mile though but we had to climb over a bunch of hills repeatedly and then go back into pools of cold, muddy water. They should have called that one the ball-shrinker! And then there was Everest where you had to run up a slope and then have people help you up. There were a bunch of other obstacles too that were a lot of fun and then just running through the forest getting all muddy and dirty was a blast.

If anyone is looking for a physical and mental challenge I would highly recommend this event, its a lot of fun!
