Tough Mudder is only around the corner and I'm feeling relatively comfortable with it. Possibly even confident. Six months ago, running ten miles would have been its own challenge, but not any more. In fact, getting through the course in less than the reported average four hour completion time doesn't seem like a problem in the least.
As for the obstacles, they fall into three categorise for me; filler, fun and fail. Piggy-back rides and crawling for a hundred meters are basically there to bulk out and add a little variety to the run. Nine foot high walls and twenty five foot tall cargo nets are a challenge but entirely completable with a bit of teamwork. But climbing across a ledge just wide enough to get your finger tips on, followed by a few dozen monkey bars and then some swinging spoked wheels, all suspended over a bath of cold, muddy water? I'm going to give them a go, but I'm coming out the other side a lot damper.
My goal is to complete the course, with my team and without injury. Having fun along the way should be inherent.
