Re: I am a Wisconsin TOUGH MUDDER
Very nice, they are fun! How was the terrain where you ran it? The last one I did was at Mt Snow VT and it was straight up and straight down a ski slope about 25 times to include all the obsticals and MUDD with a good bit of water thrown in. I thought the obsticals were very easy and belw threw them (all but the 15 foot wall, thats a big jump, it took me 2x). I just signed up for the next one in Boston and it should be a bit flatter. They are a good event and well orginized, everyone should run one.

They provide water stops and banana stops. The terrain was like you average farmland, hills, ponds and very muddy at times. I WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR!

I ran the Minneapolis, MN (somerset, WI) on May 19. I didn't think it was too bad. The running through the hills was the toughest part by far. Everyone should do a tough mudder in their lifetime. It was a lot of fun.

Training starts for the july event of tough mudder! Let get some snipershiders out there!
My wife and I have both done them.
Anyone tried a GoRuck? www.GoRuckChallenge.com
I've done two... love them.
The remind me a bit of the suck that I'm missing being out of the service and it's really cool to see civilians come together and work like a team to get through the event and accomplish the objectives.
The difference is that in a TM you can do the whole course with no help as long as you are fit and athletic. In the GRC it's a team building event. Everyone starts together and finishes together.
My last one was New Years Eve and we had a guy who just got done with Cancer treatment. He gave what he could and made it. We ended up carrying has ruck for about half of it.
It was 19+ miles and took just over 12 hours to complete. We started at 2200 NYE and ended NYD at about 1130.
Highly recommended.
